Gunstock Trail Run 5K & 10K

Come to Kailua Beach Park for a scenic romp through Lanikai! Bunch start at the Lanikai Monument on the hill entering Lanikai, then two counterclockwise loops of the Lanikai Bike Path with the finish near the Lanikai Boat Ramp. Faster runners should move to the front and walkers towards the back to avoid collisions.

When you finish, enjoy free shave ice by Island Snow! Yummy and refreshing! Make it a beach day and experience beautiful Kailua Beach or world-famous Lanikai Beach!

This 8K run/walk is in memory of Daniel Levey and there is a special award to first finisher in his age group. Daniel Levey was a young man who died 23 years ago at age 19 in a hiking accident, the day after completing the Lanikai 8K in 2003. This race is held in his memory and generously supported by his parents, Dr. Joyce Cassen and Norm Levey.

Parking is available in the Boat Ramp area as well as in Kailua Beach Park.

Two opportunities to get your packet: (1) the day before the race (Saturday) 1:00 to 3:00 PM at The Running Room, 819 Kapahulu Ave. or on (2) race morning starting at 5:30 a.m.

Results will be available almost immediately online at timelinehawaii.com. Awards will be presented at the race to the top three male and female finishers as well as the top three in 5-year age groups.

Time, date, and/or location can change before registration opening.

A rare and beautiful venue at the Old Pali Road 5K!

The 5K course is an out and back route through the very scenic closed roadway course. If you have not run on the Old Pali Road before you are in for a (slightly hilly) treat! Free parking is available at the Ko`olau Ballrooms and Conference Center. Come experience the joy!

Aloha Racing brings our 4th annual Ikaika 5 & 10K to the people’s park at Ala Moana! Beginning at the keyhole area and including Magic Island, athletes will be treated to iconic views of Waikiki along with the turquoise blue water that lures locals and visitors alike. With the sound of the crashing waves at the waters edge and a spectacular view of the sun rising over Diamond Head, athletes can look forward to an experience to remember.

Get ready for the Tantalus 10-Mile Challenge, taking place on Sunday, September 27, 2026, in the beautiful city of Honolulu! This exhilarating race features a scenic one-loop course that starts at 6:30 a.m. on Makiki Heights Drive, near Halau Kumana School. Participants will embark on a thrilling uphill journey along Makiki Heights Drive, transitioning to Tantalus Drive and climbing for about five miles before enjoying a downhill stretch on Round Top Drive. Runners will then make their way back, finishing strong with a final uphill push on Makiki Heights Drive.

For those who prefer a more leisurely pace, an optional early start at 6:00 a.m. is available for walkers and runners planning to finish in over 2.5 hours. Just remember to check in with the timer by 5:45 a.m. and bring a flashlight or headlamp to navigate the early morning darkness. Note that early start participants will not be eligible for overall or age group awards.
