The Honolulu Rainbow Ekiden will celebrate its 10th anniversary in 2026!
The race starts at Kapiʻolani Park with the majestic Diamond Head as the backdrop. Runners take on the scenic 5 km loop that climbs Diamond Head Road and turns around near the lookout point with sweeping ocean views. It’s one of Hawaiʻi’s most breathtaking courses, where participants can feel the beauty of nature with every step. Since all runners follow the same loop, teammates can cheer each other on throughout the race.
The event welcomes runners as young as 5 years old, making it perfect for families. There will also be a special Kids Race for participants 12 and under.
For the 10th anniversary, we’re excited to announce a special collaboration with Kawaii☆Kon, Hawaiʻi’s largest anime convention! The costume contest for runners will be bigger than ever, transforming the event into a unique fan-run experience where both runners and spectators can join in the fun.
Whether you’re running, cheering, or cosplaying, everyone will be smiling at the Honolulu Rainbow Ekiden. Let’s paint the skies of Hawaiʻi with rainbows at this memorable 10th anniversary event!
