Hapalua half-marathon to close Honolulu roadways Sunday
More than 10,000 runners are expected to hit the road for the Hapalua half-marathon in Honolulu this Sunday morning, resulting in roadway closures.
The Honolulu Marathon Association has issued a traffic advisory, beginning with the 4 a.m. closure of several lanes downtown and in Waikiki.
From 4 a.m. to 8 a.m., roads with restricted or closed lanes include Ala Moana Boulevard, Nimitz Highway, River Street, King Street, Kapiolani Boulevard, and Piikoi Street.
From 4 a.m. to 10 a.m., some lane closures will be in effect on Kalakaua and Monsarrat avenues and Diamond Head Road, but will open after the race passes.
Waikiki-bound traffic on Kalakaua Avenue will be diverted onto Kuhio Avenue at Ala Moana. Waikiki-bound traffic on the H-1 freeway should take the King Street exit to Kapahulu Avenue.
The 13.1-mile Hapalua race course starts near the Duke Kahanamoku statue on Kalakaua Avenue in Waikiki, travels downtown and back, loops around Diamond Head, and finishes at Kapiolani Park.
