Race Day Weather
Hot start, warming through the race, moderate wind
A warm 76°F start means heat management is critical — consider dialing back your goal pace by 10-20 sec/mi. Temperatures rising to 87°F through the course will gradually increase perceived effort in the second half. Moderate winds around 14mph may affect pacing on open sections of the course.

Race Info
The Kona Half Marathon starts at Huggo's on the Rocks on Ali'i Drive and heads north along the ocean side of the road to Kailua Pier. It climbs to Kuakini Highway, runs north past the Kona Community Aquatics Center to a turnaround at the end of Old Airport Park (Makaeo), then returns to the Royal Kona Resort. From there the course continues south on Ali'i Drive to a turnaround near Kahalu'u Beach Park and finishes back at the Royal Kona Resort. The route is mostly flat with a few rolling hills, in tropical heat on the Kona coast.
