From the Organizer

Open to the community, seasoned runners, health enthusiasts, dog runners, or those looking to start the new year right are welcome to participate! Partnering with Aloha Tri Sports and JTL Timing, runners will get their "cold start" with a splash of HOST Park's deep seawater while running along the Kona coastline and end with a "warm finish" as they cross the line and join the energetic celebration, complete with music and a community wellness party! The starting point is near the Mauka Research Campus gate. Makako Bay Drive will be closed to the general public for this exciting event.

Let's rock this place! While the runners and dogs hit the course, you can join the party at our Health and Wellness Fair!

Everyone is welcome to join the fun and discover local wellness programs, healthy dietary goods, and mental health resources available right here in our community. Keikis can join in the bubble party after the keiki dash, courtesy of Hawaii Keiki Museum.
