Holo Kahakai 5K, 10K or Half Marathon Fun Run

Escape to the Big Island for a tropical running experience at the Holo Kahakai 5K, 10K, or Half Marathon Fun Run on June 13, 2026, in Pahoa, HI. Kicking off from the oceanfront Kahakai Park, this community-focused event by the Big Island Road Runners offers a unique blend of island adventure and local charm. Runners will journey through dappled sunlight beneath a lush canopy of old-growth mango and lauhala trees along scenic Old Government Beach Road, enjoying coastal breezes and a quiet seaside ambiance. Half marathoners will extend their route with an out-and-back section on Highway 132 before returning to the park.

This friendly, low-key fun run series is perfect for those seeking a tranquil island experience rather than a high-pressure race. While self-serve aid stations are available along the route, participants are encouraged to bring their own hydration, especially with typical race day conditions seeing highs around 78F and lows around 65F, with a 34% chance of precipitation. Post-race, enjoy refreshing water and snacks at the finish line. The Holo Kahakai Fun Run offers flexible distances for every ability, making it an inviting event for both seasoned runners and those looking to soak in the beauty of Hawaii at an island pace.
