Volunteer

Without volunteers, these events simply wouldn’t be possible!

From packet pick-up and registration to course marshals and meal service, there are tons of ways you can help. Sure… when you volunteer, you can look forward to that warm & fuzzy feeling that comes by sharing so much aloha, but there’s WAY more to it than that. There’s no experience necessary but space is limited, so please let us know you’re available right away!


Races are expensive! Athletes who volunteer at just one event earn credits enough to race a future 5K completely FREE. Volunteer twice to earn a 10K, or 3 times for a FREE Half Marathon. (Yup, you read that correctly… athletes make the very best volunteers and we like to show our appreciation.) Credits never expire and can be gifted.		Calling all charities, clubs, sports programs & schools with a fundraising goal… even personal groups for a wedding or ohana efforts towards a vacation! No need to be an official nonprofit, and no car washes, baking or sales of any kind… just a guaranteed funds for whatever your cause may be. Donations begin with just 5 volunteers.		Earn those community service credits or beef up those college applications in the most fun way possible.		We know money can get tight so we’ve come up with a way to turn your time into money for this deserving organization. Volunteers who sign up online can choose to have $25 added to the funds we send the benefitting charity!
