Get ready for the Tantalus 10-Mile Challenge, taking place on Sunday, September 27, 2026, in the beautiful city of Honolulu! This exhilarating race features a scenic one-loop course that starts at 6:30 a.m. on Makiki Heights Drive, near Halau Kumana School. Participants will embark on a thrilling uphill journey along Makiki Heights Drive, transitioning to Tantalus Drive and climbing for about five miles before enjoying a downhill stretch on Round Top Drive. Runners will then make their way back, finishing strong with a final uphill push on Makiki Heights Drive.
For those who prefer a more leisurely pace, an optional early start at 6:00 a.m. is available for walkers and runners planning to finish in over 2.5 hours. Just remember to check in with the timer by 5:45 a.m. and bring a flashlight or headlamp to navigate the early morning darkness. Note that early start participants will not be eligible for overall or age group awards.
Join this vibrant community of runners and embrace the stunning views and camaraderie that the Tantalus 10-Mile Challenge has to offer!
