UCC Coffee Kona Quarter Marathon
Race Day Weather
Hot start, moderate wind
A warm 78°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 Quarter Marathon covers 6.55 miles and starts at Huggo's on the Rocks on Ali'i Drive. Runners head north to Kailua Pier, up to Kuakini Highway and past the Kona Community Aquatics Center, turn around just before the Old Airport Park runway area, and return to the Royal Kona Resort. They then run south on Ali'i Drive to a marked turnaround and finish back at the resort. The out-and-back route is largely flat along the Kailua-Kona waterfront.
