updates and instructions

It's RACE WEEK!!

Here are some final updates and instructions!

Packet and Number Pick Up:
We have two options for number pick up this year. On Friday, the 14th, we'll be having a number pick up at the Running Room in Honolulu from 3-7 p.m. 819 Kapahulu Avenue 808.737.2422. This will give you a chance to get a little more sleep on race morning, have your number all pinned on and ready to go, and get some last minutes supplies and nutrition.

You can also pick up your number at the race site on race morning beginning at 5 a.m. and no later than 6:30 a.m.

PLEASE NOTE: Whether you pick up your number on Friday night or Saturday morning, you will still need to get your chip on Saturday morning! Please get there early,WE WANT TO START ON TIME and we anticipate about 300 runners!

Athletes may also register in person at either of these places.
