The up to 1.5-mile fun run starts at 7:30 a.m.

The camaraderie and festive fun found at the annual Keiki Great Aloha Run are reasons enough for families to sign up. The fun run starts at 7:30 a.m. on Feb. 8 at Ala Moana Regional Park. Participants can join in activities and obstacle courses at the park following the race.

Hawai‘i’s premier run for kids is part of the Great Aloha Run, which is scheduled on Monday, Feb. 17, 2025. This 8.15-mile foot race kicks off at 7 a.m. at Aloha Tower and finishes at Aloha Stadium.
