“The Great Aloha Run has always been about bringing people together, supporting causes that matter and creating something positive year after year,” said Kai Onouye. “I’m incredibly proud of what we built together. We could not have done it without the help of our amazing volunteers, donors and sponsors.”

The Great Aloha Run has achieved many milestones in its 41-year history.

• The first, largest, first-time running event in the country with nearly 12,000 individuals signing up in its very first year
• Recognized nationally as one of the top “100 Great Road Races” by Runner’s World Magazine
• Raised close to a staggering $20 million, which was distributed to 200 non-profit health and human service organizations and community groups throughout Hawaii.
• Drew about 750,000 runners from across the region and abroad.

Traditionally, the Great Aloha Run is an 8.15-mile foot race that starts at Aloha Tower and finishes at the Aloha Stadium. There are divisions for elites, age groups, wheelchair and hand-cycle competitors, Sounds of Freedom (military running in formation) and those who walk the course with friends and socialize along the way in the “Back of the Pack.”

Mahalo to everyone who joined us in-person and virtually on February 17, 2025, for the 41st Annual Great Aloha Run. Your dedication to your community helped donate $150,000 to dozens of Hawaii’s charities.
