The race course for the Honolulu World Cup will be similar to the course used for the Olympic Team Trials — 1-mile swim off Waikiki Beach, followed by a 24.8-mile bike (five laps around Diamond Head), and then a 6.2-mile run along the streets of Waikiki.

The Honolulu World Cup is scheduled for April 16, and is expected to draw several of the world's top professional triathletes.

There will also be a JAL Honolulu Triathlon on April 17. That race will be for amateur triathletes.
