Hawaii Bird Conservation Marathon

This is not only a run, it’s a nature experience! Part of the course meanders through original Hawaiian hapu‘u & ʻōhiʻa rainforest and on a clear day offers a spectacular view of Hawai‘i’s highest volcanoes, Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea. Plus during the first few miles runners will experience the dawn chorus of many Hawaiian endemic birds that may include the Apapane, Hawai‘i Amakihi, I‘iwi (all three are Hawaiian Honeycreepers) Oma‘o (Hawaiian Thrush), and Hawai‘i Elepaio (a monarch flycatcher).

The race supports the endemic birds of Hawai‘i through the Hawai‘i Forest Institute sponsored Keauhou Bird Conservation Center Discovery Forest in Volcano, HI.
