Title: Marathon Traffic?
Post by: gottasurf on December 08, 2011, 02:27:56 PM

The Honolulu Marathon is on December 11, 2011, which means contraflow lanes to Hawaii Kai and beyond.

Anybody know what the traffic is like going toward the Koko Head Shooting Range when the marathon is going on? Anybody had previous experiences, stuck or not stuck in traffic?

Stuck in traffic everytime I go to that place...both ways.

The marathon slows things down considerably, as you may expect.  Every year, LIFE has an event that falls on Marathon Sunday.  And every year, I travel from Kaimuki to KokoHead during peak marathon time. 

They contraflow Kalanianaole between Kahala and Aina Haina, then route traffic up into Aina Haina, over to Hawaii Kai, then abandon it.  No sighs after you get into Hawaii Kai, so I always end up lost at least once trying to find my way out. 

It takes over an hour.
