My best friend picked this race as her first 10K and I’m so glad that I last minute decided to join.

Pre-race communication was great and very detailed. The parking situation near the start line was not great but the race directors planned for that and had parking and buses running back and forth all morning. We really didn’t have to wait long in either direction.

The finish line area had a bag check which was nice because even though it was May it was still a bit chilly in the morning. The course is relatively flat and there isn’t a whole lot to look at, but I did like that it was a closed course so I didn’t have to worry about any cars.

The swag for this event was nice, it was a blue zip hoodie and I liked the giant medal with flowers. I’m not sure what they had at packet pick-up as far a merchandise but I was able to buy a Snohomish Women’s Run tank top at the finish line and I love the color!

If I was in town again during this race I would definitely do it again.

I have participated in the Maui Marathon events since 2016. Of those events I have run the 5K and half marathon distances. Although I enjoy the route and views for the half marathon more, I prefer the 5K since it means I get to watch the finishers of all races, oh and and less training for me.

During race weekend there was a packet pick-up (it was very small due to covid restrictions just being lifted in March 2022). On Saturday there were also free shakeout run and yoga events (it was timed so you could go to both if you wanted).

On race day, all of the races start early with the 5K starting last at 5:55am. You want your races to start early in Hawaii because it will get hot and will probably be humid. It’s great that this race is now in April instead of October, since April is a bit cooler.

About half of the 5K route is on Ka’anapali Parkway with golf course views and a lane closed for runners, once you get out to HI30 (which is an active road but is coned off) it’s relatively flat as you run towards Hanakao’o Park to the turn around point.

For 2022, the finish line had packaged snacks since there were still Covid protocols in place and I appreciated that. I loved listening to the announcer say people’s names/where they were from as they crossed the finish line. There are overall and age group awards for all of the races, for 2022 they moved the Award Ceremony to the finish line area which was much more convenient.

I will definitely be back!
