2026 JAL Honolulu Marathon
The Parkinson's Foundation is an official charity partner for the 2026 JAL Honolulu Marathon. By signing up to run as a Parkinson's Champion you commit to raising funds and awareness for the Parkinson's Foundation, and in return you get access to a free entry (bib) to the race in addition to other fun benefits and perks.
Fundraising Commitments:
- Marathon - $1,500
- Honorary Champion (you already have a bib) - suggested goal $500
Held every December, it brings together over 35,000 runners from around the world for a race that blends challenge, scenery, and the Aloha spirit like nowhere else. Runners will end their marathon in Kapiolani Park near the volcanic crater, Diamond Head. The course is relatively flat with a large part of it following the magnificent Pacific coastline.
Parkinson’s Champions are racing toward a cure! Our Parkinson’s Champions athletes raise funds and awareness for the Parkinson’s Foundation while competing in some of the world’s most popular endurance events. Every step we take brings us closer to a future without Parkinson’s disease, because Parkinson’s isn’t a sprint, it’s a marathon.
