About the Hawaiʻi Bird Conservation Marathon
This Big Island race links marathon running with conservation work for Hawaiʻi's threatened native birds. It is independent of the Big Island International Marathon, even though both events are based in Hilo.
Course
The certified road marathon is structured for standard qualifying performances rather than trail racing. Hilo's tropical setting and volcanic-island landscape give the event a distinct sense of place.
Race-day weather
December in Hilo is warm, humid and frequently wet. Tropical showers can arrive quickly, so runners should expect damp roads, manage heat buildup and protect against chafing.
