Hawaii Bird Conservation Marathon
20 December 2026 · Volcano, United States
Enter on the race websiteThis point-to-point course starts at about 4,000 feet in front of the Volcano Golf Course and drops roughly 3,650 feet to Herbert Shipman Park in Keaau. You run Highway 11 through Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and then rainforest, residential and farm land, on paved road apart from a grass field at the finish. It is USATF certified, and you need a headlamp until twilight. Water stops come about every 2.5 miles, with no gels, and buses leave Hilo and Keaau for the 6 a.m. start.
