Jimmy Zupancich of Babbitt competed in the 2024 Honolulu Marathon on Dec. 8.
Zupancich finished with a time of 3:27:50 in the 26.2 mile course from downtown Honolulu to Hawaii Kai. He competed in the age 20-24 bracket for male runners and finished 20th out of 1,300 competitors.
Overall Zupancich was 332nd out of 18,432 runners.
“It was a pretty good run, probably my favorite marathon I’ve ever ran. The people, the weather, the views, everything about it was perfect. It was pretty cool watching the sunrise on the coast,” said Zupancich.
“I am pretty happy with myself, I wanted to run a 3:30 and I ended up running a 3:28. I am happy with my time. During the race I pushed myself a little more than what I trained for. I felt like I could beat that time by a lot then I hit a wall around mile 21 so I slowed down,” Zupancich. “Overall I’m pretty happy with it though.”
Zupancich said he will be running in the Chicago Marathon in October. Honolulu was his third marathon.
