Kaylan's Warrior Fun Run

Lace up your shoes for Kaylan's Warrior Fun Run, an inspiring 3.2-mile event taking place on May 11, 2026, in the scenic Ewa Beach, Hawaii. This uplifting run is more than just a race; it's a powerful tribute to Kaylan Haywood, an extraordinary 11-year-old who courageously battled DIPG, a devastating brain tumor. The event, which also offers virtual participation throughout May 2026, serves a vital mission: to raise critical funds for families in Hawaii affected by Childhood Brain Cancer and to support essential research for a cure.

The in-person run kicks off at 9 AM at Kapapapuhi Point Park, historically known as West Lock Point Park, in Ewa Beach. While specific course details on terrain and elevation are not extensively detailed, the park setting suggests a welcoming and accessible path, likely offering pleasant coastal or park scenery. Typical race day conditions in early May often bring warm Hawaiian weather, with highs around 84°F and lows around 68°F, and only a 4% chance of precipitation, providing an ideal climate for a spirited run or walk. Participants can look forward to a vibrant atmosphere at the start/finish area, featuring face painting and exciting raffle opportunities, including a 50/50 raffle.

Kaylan's Warrior Fun Run embodies the "Ohana spirit," bringing the community together to honor Kaylan's legacy and fulfill her wish to support other families facing similar challenges. By joining this event, you'll contribute directly to the Kaylan Strong's Fight Like A Warrior Foundation, helping to provide financial assistance to Hawaiian families in their hardest times and advancing the search for a cure for DIPG and Childhood Brain Cancer. This race is a unique opportunity to connect with a compassionate community and make a tangible difference, all while enjoying the beautiful surroundings of Ewa Beach.
