This is an exceptional event that's put on by the same people who host the Honolulu Marathon. Parking is a breeze - there is a ton of parking within walking distance to the start and shuttles as well. The course is mostly flat with some hills at the end, but you're running up a frickin volcano cone with awesome ocean views, so who could complain about that!
The finish line festival was so cool -really fun band, bright sun, high-energy vibe. Post-race treats are super unique and really cool - fresh-made malasadas (fried Portuguese donuts that are to DIE for), fresh juice from a local juice company (Lanikai Juice - FRESH pineapple!), and Mauna Loa Macadamia Nuts (SO satisfying after a long run)!
This is a total gem of a race and definitely one to put on your race calendar!
