2025 Marathon Readiness Series

Welcome to the 2025

BioAstin Marathon Readiness Series

Aloha Runners! Welcome to the 2025 BioAstin Marathon Readiness Series. We have 4 runs this year with a bonus 5th, non-competitive longer run to be announced soon as well.

We do have some changes and improvements this year which should make these already great events even more fun. And we do apologize for launching registration so late, there were a few permitting issues that delayed things.

This series of runs starts off with the Boca Norman Tamanaha 15K at Kapiolani Park, then moves to the Runner's HI 20K at Kalaeloa and then finishes strong with two half marathons, the Uloha Kailua 1/2 Marathon and the Running Room Val Nolasco 1/2 Marathon.

Updates to the events include:

• Porta Potties at the events - we've never done this before but did have an event last year where the park bathroom staff didn't show up so we're going to add these just in case.
• Upgraded performance finisher shirts - we'll be posting pics soon but we're going all out with completely custom made performance shirts for each event (this applies to the longer distances only, not to the 5K)
• Upgraded finisher medals - each event will now have it's own awesome finisher medal.
• We will be adding a Team / Running Club category and are working on some awesome perks and awards for that.
• The Kailua course is moving back to Kailua Beach Park now that work on the traffic circle is winding down.
• The 20K course may change at a later date to a better route in the same area (exciting!) and we'll have more info soon.

This series of races is run by Shaka Racing but is owned by Mid Pacific Road Runner's Club. MPRRC members will get a discount on series entries.
