Windward Half Marathon

Windward Half Marathon is a half marathon with a 5K option held in Kailua, US, in March. Both races start in front of Kailua Intermediate School on South Kainalu Drive in Kailua, Hawaii, and then head off in different directions.

From the school the two routes split. The half marathon heads out toward Kailua Road, while the 5K turns the opposite way toward Kainui Drive. On either course the Ko`olau mountains rise behind the runners and give the morning its scenery, and the route stays the same from one edition to the next. The half marathon also passes Enchanted Lake Community Park along the way.

Stroller categories are available at both distances, so parents can take part with young children. The two races together give newer runners a shorter option and more experienced ones the full 13.1 miles.
