We all know the history of endurance sports on the islands of Hawaii, it only makes sense for Powerman Hawaii to create it’s own history, memories and legends. Kailua Kona’s Kealakehe High School is the perfect setting. It sits about a mile above the coast overlooking downtown Kona, dolphins and whales swimming by and on a clear day the island of Maui off the coast.
The high schools track stadium will play host as friends family and spectators fill the stands as the athletes enter the stadium to watch a 300m battle between the athletes as they hit the track for the final run to the finish.
The epic bike and run courses will take the athletes on a challenging run above the high school and bike course below the high school that will feature a 800m climb each lap on the multi-loop course.
Marathon runners, endurance athletes, triathletes, bikers, runners – Anyone Can Do the DU!
Run: 2.5k or 5K and 10k: Starting out on the track, flying around then exiting the school track at the back end utilizing the cross country course up hill to a quick out and back on the baseball field. Exiting the ball fields, keeping you on campus you will head straight up to the back of the campus, a short jaunt off road then you will wind your way between campus buildings with cheers and music the entire way. It will be a fast, exhilarating run unlike anything else you have done. Then you will fly back down hill 400m to the “hot corner” with bikes exiting to your right as you fly down on the track for another lap or jet into the transition area in front of hundreds of cheering spectators. You will complete ONE FULL lap on the track each time around.
Bike: 14k – 28k – 56k: Exiting the parking lot at the high school you will head right down to the Ane Keohokalole to a LEFT turn into a coned lane. That will take you right down to the Palani downhill RIGHT to a super fast downhill on the bike lane bringing you to a RIGHT on the Queen Ka’ahumanu highway. From that point you will fly down the Queen Ka’ahumanu a few miles to a RIGHT on Hina Lani parkway. The climb begins here for about 800m straight up back to a RIGHT on the Ane Keohokalole.
