About Hawaii Running Lab Val Nolasco

ALOHA RUNNERS! Welcome back to the HAWAII RUNNING LAB Val Nolasco 1/2 Marathon.

Last year was an amazing event and we can't wait to do it all again, better and even more fun, for 2026. This year we are saying a sad farewell to our long time sponsor the Running Room. We are very happy though to announce a great new sponsor that all of our local runners know and love in HAWAII RUNNING LAB!

We want to make sure the race is even better this year and are working on:
-Even better fully custom finisher shirts
-MORE porta potties at the start
-& Extra schwag for our entrants

The run begins at Kapiolani Regional Park on Kalakaua Ave, near the ocean side of the bandstand. The course heads briefly towards Waikiki and takes a right on Monsarrat, another right on Paki, and then heads up and over Diamond Head. Next, it takes a left at Triangle Park, shadowing the marathon course up Diamond Head road, with a right on 18th Ave. Runners will then take a right on Kilauea bringing them to Kalanianaole Highway where they head out to Wailupe Circle before turning around and heading back to the park via a left on Kealaolu. After a right on Kahala Ave, runners head back to the park, finishing at the Honolulu Marathon finish line.
