Honolulu is a very large marathon, with over 22,000 finishers. There were a large # of runners that missed timing mats – some of this would be expected with the large # of runners crossing in a short period of time.

However, some of the missed splits were a result of course cutting. As usual I limited my search primarily to those that cheated to record a Boston Qualifying Time.

13 runners have been identified with Boston Qualifying times. I am only going to highlight those that either achieved exceptional results (placed in their age group) or are claiming that they ran the distance by appearing with finishers medal.
