The Finish: Aloha Stadium
At the 6-mile marker, you see the round rusty shape of the Stadium. It gets bigger and bigger and you think the end is in sight. Not! You first must go through the Stadium gates and maneuver through almost a half mile of parking lot before heading down North Tunnel to the Great Aloha Run Finish Line on the Stadium Floor.
You made it! Caution is advised when hitting the green astroturf on the Stadium Floor. Be aware that after 8.15 miles of pavement, your legs may give way when stepping onto the soft stadium floor.
CROSSING THE FINISH LINE INTO THE CHUTE
- Wheelchairs and Hand cycles & Strollers - From parking lot, merge right, down tunnel, and finish under the huge finish line banners.
- All Runners & Walkers- Runners must cross the finish line mats so that an electronic signal will record their finish for an accurate finish time. You must have a start signal recorded from the start line and a finish signal recorded in order to get an official time.
- Sounds of Freedom - From parking lot, merge to left, down the tunnel, left chute.
At the Finish Line, continue off the Stadium floor and into the distribution area for water, snacks and your finishers’ t-shirt.
Keep clear of Finish Line area.
POST RACE DISTRIBUTION
Snacks, water sponsored by ING Direct, bananas and other goodies can be picked up before the finishers’ t-shirt distribution.
Once through the Finish Line, proceed outside the stadium floor to get your refreshments and well-earned finishers’ t-shirt. Runners are asked to keep moving through the distribution area quickly as this area is small and must accommodate all of our 25,000+ runners.
Participants should plan to meet their parties outside the distribution areas by designating a meeting point inside the stadium where you can take in the Stadium Party Entertainment, Awards Ceremony, Fabulous Prize Giveaways and Special Events.
FINISHER T-SHIRT DISTRIBUTION
You must have a t-shirt tag from your race number to receive a t-shirt. (Finishers’ T-shirt is for 2013 Great Aloha Run Race Day Finishers Only.)
Youth shirts will be located beyond the Distribution tables in the spiral.
Stroller Babies do not receive a finisher’s t-shirt.
