    About This Race

    With a PR score of 96.02, the Maui Marathon presents one of the flatter courses in the United States. Set in the stunning surroundings of Kahului, the route allows runners to soak in the beauty of the Pacific while concentrating on their race strategy. However, be prepared for the heat, as the island's tropical climate can add a layer of challenge not found in many mainland marathons.

    Race Strategy

    Focus on maintaining a steady effort, especially in the early miles to avoid overheating. Hydration is key, so take advantage of aid stations and consider slightly increasing your average pace in the final miles if you're feeling strong.
