Na Holo Wahine 5K

Lace up for the 47th Annual Na Holo Wahine 5K and 1M on May 10, 2026, in scenic Kahului, Hawaii. This beloved Mother's Day celebration offers a unique opportunity to embrace a healthy lifestyle while contributing to a meaningful cause. The event features a welcoming figure-8 course starting and finishing in Keopuolani Park, providing a relatively flat and accessible terrain suitable for all levels of runners and walkers. Participants can expect well-supported routes with water stations conveniently located at the start, 1.5-mile mark, and finish.

Beyond the personal achievement, the Na Holo Wahine race is a heartfelt tribute to Kelly Watanabe, a lifelong runner and dedicated community advocate, with proceeds benefiting the University of Hawai'i – Maui College scholarship fund established in her memory. Originally Maui's only all-women's 5K, the event now proudly welcomes participants of all ages and genders to join in the spirit of camaraderie and movement. Typical race day conditions in May feature comfortable highs around 86F and lows around 67F, with a minimal 4% chance of precipitation, ensuring pleasant running weather. Runners are also encouraged to bring non-perishable food items for donation to the Maui Food Bank, further extending the event's positive impact on the community.
