Marathon to hold discount registration period
The Honolulu Marathon is holding early registration for the 34th edition of the race, which will be held in December.
Hawaii residents and active-duty military personnel stationed in Hawaii can get a $15 entry fee between Saturday and Jan. 29.
That price is $110 cheaper than what late registrants paid for the 2005 race last month. Entry forms will be mailed to finishers from last year's race. The same forms will also appear in the Star-Bulletin during the early registration period.
Walk-in registration can be done at Niketown in Waikiki, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. starting Saturday.
