Hawaii Bird Conservation Marathon
The Hawaii Bird Conservation Marathon is a marathon held in Hilo on the island of Hawai‘i. The event is scheduled for Sunday, December 20, 2026. The course is described as a downhill route and is presented as a fast marathon course.
The event is a Boston Marathon qualifier and a qualifying race for the Abbott World Marathon Majors Age Group World Championships. The course is located near Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and the community of Volcano on the Big Island.
The marathon has an explicit conservation focus. It supports the Keauhou Bird Conservation Center Discovery Forest and a bird sanctuary and highlights a featured bird for 2025, the Nēnē. Photo services donate proceeds to help Hawaiian birds, with donations designated for the Keauhou Bird Conservation Center Discovery Center. The event also references donations to the Hawaii Forest Institute.
Race coverage includes live results, race photos from recent years, and video highlights. Information about the featured bird and conservation partners is provided alongside published results and media from past editions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
