From the coast of West O’ahu and Hawai’i’s one and only waterfront recreation facility, Aloha Racing brings our 4th annual Ho’omau 5K, 10K & Half Marathon to Wai Kai! Along with its sister event in November, Makoa, these flat & fast courses get you up close and personal with the magnificent shoreline in Ewa Beach at One’ula so athletes can experience a connection to the water, land and rich culture of Hawai’i.

General Information
Directions: Wai Kai is located on O’ahu’s leeward side, very near the coast in Ewa Beach. Click the link in the maps section above for individual directions or just make your way to Ft Weaver Rd via H1 & head south. Turn right on Keone’ula Blvd & travel about a mile west… you won’t be able to miss us.
Parking: Athlete & spectator parking will be allowed in both the paved and gravel lots, but to avoid congestion and to be sure space remains available for those not associated with our event… if you don’t mind the gravel, please make an immediate left as you enter Wai Kai and follow the directions of lot attendants.
Sustainability: Please refrain from bringing any single-use plastic containers with you on race day, as Wai Kai mandates sustainability practices as a part of our permit.
The above information is only that which is unique to this event.
