About the Big Island International Marathon
The Big Island International Marathon offers a unique running experience set against the lush backdrop of Hilo, Hawaii. The course begins and ends at the Hilo Hawaiian Hotel, featuring rolling hills for the first 15 miles before transitioning into flatter terrains, which provide more favorable running conditions. This marathon is particularly appealing to those aiming to qualify for the Boston Marathon, as it's a recognized qualifier event. The race benefits from the relatively cooler climate of Hilo, offering mean temperatures around 72°F (22°C), which is ideal for endurance events.
Apart from the full marathon, the event includes a variety of other races, such as a half marathon, 10K, 5K, and a 2-mile walk, accommodating runners of all preferences and skill levels. The backdrop of Hawaii's natural beauty and the local hospitality make this marathon a must-try for both avid marathoners and those looking for a picturesque race experience. With its course elevation peaking at 236 feet (71 meters), runners are treated to views of the stunning landscape as they race through one of the cooler parts of the tropical island, making the physical challenge rewarding and visually inspiring. The maximum participation of finishers qualifying for the Boston Marathon, combined with the vibrant atmosphere, makes this a standout event on the marathon calendar.
