Maunawili Twisted
Maunawili Out and Back is a 22 mile out and back course on the Maunawili Demonstration Trail. The route follows the Koʻolau mountain contour and passes in and out of valleys, with long runnable sections and lush scenery. Runners will encounter heat, humidity, mud and technical terrain.
The event is cupless; participants must use a reusable cup or bottle for aid station and post race hydration. Carrying sufficient fluids is mandatory: participants must be able to carry at least 2 liters each direction and must show proof of this equipment at check in. Runners should refill containers completely at the hairpin turn aid station for the return leg.
Entrants must be at least 15 years old. Participants under 18 must submit a parent or guardian signed waiver within three days of registration; the waiver form is available for download in the waiver tab and includes instructions for submission.
The race 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 encouraged; if driving, park along the side of Waikupanaha Street with all tires completely off the roadway and facing the direction of travel.
The trail is marked with bright pink HURT ribbons and flags at both ends; blue ribbons indicate the wrong way. There is no marking in the middle eight miles. A few course marshals will be at two junctions at the start; marshals will not be present on the return leg, so runners must watch flags and ribbons. If a runner leaves the course, they must report to the aid station or to the start/finish so organizers can account for their whereabouts.
Awards are given to top solo finishers in each category. Light refreshments will be available at the finish. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
