Ultimate Hawaiian Trail Run
The 14th Annual Ultimate Hawaiian Trail Run is scheduled for July 24, 2027 at Omao Track in Kauai, HI. The event is a fundraiser for the Keala Foundation, a nonprofit that provides free fitness and wellness programs for keiki. Funds support role models, healthy outlets, and supportive spaces intended to reduce youth substance use.
Race day features rucking, running, and walking on both long and short courses. The event site is located off Kaumualiʻi Highway with free parking available; most participants leave belongings with family or in their vehicles as there is no gear check. Organizers note humid conditions following a recent tropical storm.
Trail Run Week includes group fitness classes at Keala Affiliate Gyms (no open gym access), a silent auction to benefit the foundation, packet pickup and swag distribution the day before the race, a kids showcase, a golf tournament, Monday community meetings at Uncle Hoffy’s, and a concluding luau. On the day of the race, exclusive Keala merchandise and food options are available for purchase on site.
Recommended items for race day include water or race hydration, a trash bag for muddy clothes, an extra set of clothes, and a friend or family member to accompany a participant. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
