The course itself is an engaging out-and-back loop, where 5K participants will complete three circuits, and 10K runners will tackle six.

What truly sets this race apart is its festive "Luau" theme, encouraging runners to embrace their creative side for the best costume contest before the race begins. Every finisher will proudly receive a themed medal to commemorate their accomplishment, adding a special touch to this memorable event. With a generous two-hour course time limit, participants can focus on enjoying the race's unique charm.
