    Run History:

    Since 2015, we and our community partners have hosted an annual keiki run and raised over $150,000 for school’s P.E. and nutrition programs.

    During COVID, the run went virtual and the Keiki Rainbow Wellness Challenge was held.

    Since 2023, the event resumed the in-person format and the Keiki Rainbow Run has been held at the scenic Kaka`ako Waterfront Park.

    In the summer of 2025, the leadership transitioned from Kaho`omiki to HAHPERD - Hawaii Association of P.E., Recreation and Dance.

    The volunteers behind the run are P.E. teachers, youth service providers, kinesiologist, nutritionists, community members and parents – all sharing a vision that keiki be active and healthy.

    Refund Policy:

    There will be no refunds after March 18, 2026. If you are not able to attend or if the race is canceled due to inclement weather, your child's entry fee will still be donated to the school you designate during online registration. Adult entry fees will be donated to support next year's event. Your entry may not be transferred to another person without prior approval from the event organizers.

    If inclement weather, or other circumstances in the surrounding area, threaten to impact the event, we may need to make a decision on whether to continue as planned or make modifications. There are many conditions that could force us to make a change to the run (i.e., high winds, heavy rain, safety concerns on the course, etc.). Modifications to the event may include delaying the start time, modifying the course, or canceling. Keiki Rainbow Run reserves the right to make modifications to the event at any time, and we exercise this right in order to keep participants, volunteers, spectators, organizers, and public safety officers safe.
