However, we’re excited to share that we have spots available in two incredible new races!

2025 Honolulu Marathon: Taking place on December 14, 2025, this scenic marathon offers a breathtaking course along the Pacific Ocean, passing iconic landmarks like Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach. Finishers will be greeted with a medal and can celebrate at the festival area in Kapiolani Park, complete with malasadas and other post-race treats.

2025 BMW Berlin Marathon: Happening on September 21, 2025, this prestigious race is part of the World Marathon Majors, a series that includes some of the most renowned marathons in the world. Running in Berlin is a fantastic opportunity, especially if you’re working toward completing the entire series!

Both races provide an exciting chance to support lupus research while being part of an unforgettable experience. If you’re interested in either event, please don’t hesitate to reach out for more information or to secure your spot at lmunoz@lupusresearch.org.
