    (Pronounced lou-LAY-ah, meaning friendship and good will.)

    Saturday, July 13, 2024

    From the heart of O’ahu’s highly sought after Hoakalei community and Wai Kai, the west side’s newest recreation facility, Aloha Racing brings our 2nd annual Laule’a 5K, 10K & Half Marathon!  Along with its sister event in January, Akahai, these flat & fast courses include spectacular views of Ernie Els’ signature golf course (home of the LPGA LOTTE Championship), as well as O’ahu’s breathtaking Leeward Coast at Nimitz Beach.  Athletes will be embraced by the beauty of the island, creating memories to last a lifetime.

    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: Parking will be on the mauka (North) side of Keone’ula, just past Laukapuna St and the small office building, but before the country club, then the 1/4 mile walk to the start line will be a great warm-up!

    Pricing: Pricing is slightly higher than for other events due to the sustainability mandates imposed by the venue.  Because you will be receiving finish line hydration in a reusable water bottle provided by us, please refrain from bringing any single-use plastic containers with you on race day.

    The above information is only that which is unique to this event.
