3 Reasons Why You Should Run the Honolulu Marathon!
I’ve read before that something like less than one percent of the population has actually completed a marathon. You can Google it if you’re a stats person. Less than one percent though. Let that sink in for a second. So either those people are pretty admirable or pretty crazy, it really depends on how you look at it. I am not part of that group…yet. I think one day I’d like to run a marathon, but then I flashback to pulling myself over the finish line of a few half marathons and second guess myself. But, after learning about the Honolulu Marathon I’ve decided that I may need to add this to my bucket list of races! And here are a few reasons why:
Scenery! I think this is a pretty obvious one given that it’s Hawaii and all. The course goes through downtown Honolulu, through Waikiki, and up and around Diamond Head. Also it’s in December, so the weather will be perfect!
