George ~ Honolulu Marathon start time is 5am. I have to get up at 2am every year. Wait in line at the shuttle stop by 3:45am. Tough!!!!! I think the RD for the HK marathon should change all the start times. How could a marathon start after a 10K run. No brainer !!!
Saki hing ~ Both Honolulu Marathon and Tokyo Marthon have their 10K start with the marathon at the same time. Both half and full marathons at the Las Vegas Marathon end at the same finish line. I don't see any confusion at all.

lvrunner, I hear you. When I watched the cable TV recordings on the HKSCM, I thought I didn't see it right the 1st time. I re-watched the recordings and confirmed that the Marathon started at 8 while the 10k started at about 6. That's the most ridiculous race schedule (for a large race) I have ever seen for sure. The other puzzling schedules I have seen are small community races like the ones organized by the Taiwanese and Mainland immigrants here. Both have the distance races in the hottest time of the day and the shorter sprints earlier in the day when it is not that hot. That's really puzzling to me as well.

SCM is so speical that 10k participants were much more than full marathon
only less than 5000 people in full marathon while more that 10000 in 10k

george...don't expect hk organizer with same thinking with runner.
though the event was called 'international'
consider the course, event time, race atmosphere.....was actually not 'international' at all...
organizer always claimed that SCM was getting more people to join (due to overwhelming participants in 10k)
