This event starts early morning in Kailua, HI (5:30 AM), and features a challenging, picturesque route that loops through Lanikai, down Kalaheo, climbs up Mokapu (a key steep section), returns via Kaneohe Bay Drive, and finishes along Kalaheo back at Kailua Beach Park. There’s also a 5K option for those who don’t want the full half marathon. Runners receive custom tech shirts (for early entrants), finisher medals, and awards for overall and age-group placings. The event is part of the “Marathon Readiness Series” geared toward helping runners train for bigger races, and is organized by ULOHA with support from local running clubs.
