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.

Athletes will start with a left onto Keone’ula Blvd, travel about 1/4 mile, then turnaround to pass by Wai Kai and the Hoakalei Country Club. After a 2nd turnaround at the 1.75 mile mark, 5K athletes will return the way they came to head for the finish line, while 10K and Half Marathon athletes will turn right to head north on Ka Makana St. Passing through the Hoakalei development will bring a left onto Geiger Rd and just over a 1/2 mile before 10K athletes turn around to head for the finish. Half Marathon athletes will continue toward Coral Sea Rd to turn left and enjoy a straightaway surrounded by the natural beauty of the island, then be treated to a breathtaking view of the Leeward Coast before they head back.

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!

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.
