Maunawili Twisted Relay
Maunawili Out and Back is a 22 miles out and back relay on the Maunawili Demonstration Trail that follows the Koʻolau mountain contour through valleys and lush terrain. The course includes long runnable sections as well as exposed, technical, muddy, hot, and humid sections. Carrying sufficient fluids is mandatory; participants must carry at least 2 liters for each direction.
The race is cupless: participants must bring a reusable cup or bottle for aid station and post-race hydration. There is an aid station at the hairpin turnaround; runners must leave that turnaround within four hours of their start. Bib numbers are issued at check-in and must be displayed on the front of the body. Runners must be prepared to show equipment that carries the required fluids.
The event starts and finishes at the Maunawili Ditch Trailhead on Waikupanaha Street. There are no restrooms at the start/finish or at the aid station. Carpooling is required where possible; vehicles that must park should be on the shoulder with all tires off the roadway and facing the direction of travel. The trail is heavily used and can be narrow; equestrians have right of way. The trail is marked with bright pink ribbons at both ends and blue ribbons indicate the wrong way. There are no markings through the middle eight miles, and a few course marshals are posted near the start at two junctions.
Awards are given to the top relay finishers. Light refreshments are available at the finish. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
