Aloha Runners! Welcome to the 2024 BioAstin Marathon Readiness Series
Special Announcement!
Aloha all runners. Mahalo for your support at our first two runs and we hope you had a great time out there.
We have some bad news and the upcoming Runner's HI 20K, scheduled for Nov 24 is going to be cancelled. There have been some problems with the permit and Runner's HI who we all know and love is moving his Aiea location soon so they are going to be busy with packing and moving. We are working on some changes for the 2025 run to make the course more exciting and also may extend the distance a bit.
All entrants will get full refunds and this will start happening this week. If you entered the series you will get 25% of your series entry fee refunded to you.
We will also be sending a $5 off coupon to anyone who entered the series or the 20K which can be used towards and entry for 2025.
We are working on the 2025 race schedule and hope to have it posted soon. We hope to see you again in 2025 and for those of you running the Honolulu Marathon we hope you have a great run.
