Mango Days 5K 2026

Lace up your running shoes for the Mango Days 5K 2026, a beloved Honolulu tradition taking place on Sunday, June 7th. This 22nd annual event invites runners and walkers to enjoy a scenic and flat 5K course that starts and finishes on Magic Island at Ala Moana Beach Park. Expect stunning ocean views and a refreshing coastal breeze as you make your way through this family-friendly race.

The Mango Days 5K is more than just a race; it's a heartfelt tribute, created in memory of Patty Smith. Her parents, Kit and Margie Smith, shared her story in the inspiring book "Mango Days," which gives this event its unique and meaningful spirit. As part of the prestigious Tropical Triple Crown, the race offers chip timing by Pacific Sport Events and awards for top male and female finishers across multiple divisions, along with fun prize giveaways. Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 86°F and lows around 73°F, and only a 2% chance of precipitation.

With ample free parking available in the Magic Island parking lot, participants will find easy access to the 6:30 AM start time. Whether you're aiming for a personal best on the "great flat course" or simply looking to enjoy a vibrant morning run in paradise, the Mango Days 5K promises an unforgettable experience amidst the beauty of Honolulu.
