100% Pure Kona Coffee Half Marathon

The 100% Pure Kona Coffee Half Marathon is an annual running event held in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. The race takes place during the Kona Coffee Cultural Festival and offers participants the opportunity to run along the coastline of the Big Island. The event features two distinct distances for participants to choose from:

  • Half Marathon
  • 5k

The course follows a scenic route along the coast of Kailua-Kona. Runners travel down Ali’i Drive, a road known for its ocean views, reaching a section referred to as the "Pit" at the "End of the World." The route provides consistent views of the Pacific Ocean throughout the duration of the run.

Upon completing either distance, participants are invited to celebrate their finish with a cup of local coffee. The event includes various divisions and awards for participants. The race is supported by various local organizations and volunteers, and it coincides with broader regional festivities celebrating the coffee heritage of the Kona district.
