100% Pure Kona Coffee Half Marathon & 5k

100% Pure Kona Coffee Half Marathon & 5k starts at sunrise in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, on November 14, 2026, along the famous Ali'i Drive. The half marathon (13.1 miles) sets off at 6 a.m. and the 5K (3.1 miles) at 6:15 a.m., both starting and finishing at the Coconut Grove Marketplace.

The half is an out-and-back along the coast to the lava rock shoreline known as End of the World, called the Pit locally, with ocean views throughout and a rolling profile that asks for restraint early on. Aid stations roughly every mile and a half keep you supplied, so plan your drinking rather than carrying everything. Train on rolling terrain rather than flat ground, and afterward stay for the fresh Kona coffee, the hula dancers and the easy island atmosphere at the finish.
