The 2nd Honolulu Ekiden and Music Festival is a fun, lively event with teams (with two to six runners) competing in a marathon-length (26.2 miles) relay race.

After the race, from approximately 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., participants will unwind and recharge at Ho‘ohui Pa‘ani, a local food and entertainment festival. Various food vendors will be on hand, along with Hawaiian and Japanese entertainers. Starting at 5:30 p.m., participants, as part of their admission fee, are invited to attend an evening music festival at Waikiki’s Sunset on the Beach, featuring local band EMKE and Japanese performers Kimaguren, Scandal and Monkey Majik.
