HONOLULU MARATHON 2005

December 11, 2005
a photo show    PHOTOGRAPHY BY RUNNER RODNEY CHANG

Ritzy Kahala Avenue, no house less than 3 million on the side away from the beachfront properties.  To the left all 4-5 million and up.

Aid Station along Kahala Avenue

A Tudor registered on the Historic Register for sale at 4+ million dollars.  No beach front.

And the typical neighbors along the avenue.

Then it's leaving the avenue and heading up the slope of Diamond Head; see the distant Koko Head Crater where we ran past in Hawaii Kai.

Then the walking wounded head up "Heartbreak Hill" as this 25th mile mark of the course.  It's climbing the slope of Diamond Head to get
to the finish line at Waikiki's Kapiolani Park on the other side of the slope.

At the top of the hill; "It's all downhill from here!"

And Santa greets us at the 26 mile mark.  Only .2 mile now to the Finish Line with all the blasting music, loudspeaker, and cheering crowds.

Her man's  "ship"  hasn't come in yet.....

But your photographer's done!

Now a review of the course for all of you future Honolulu Marathon participants

As for me?  It's back to the other side of Diamond Head Crater for -
