History of the Great Aloha Run

Founded in 1984 by Hawaiʻi philanthropist Carole Kai Onouye, the Great Aloha Run began with a simple purpose: to bring people together in support of local nonprofits.

Since the first race in 1985, the event has welcomed nearly 750,000 participants and raised close to $20 million for more than 200 nonprofit organizations and community groups throughout Hawaiʻi.

For more than four decades, the Great Aloha Run has grown into a beloved Hawaiʻi tradition rooted in community spirit, volunteer service, and a shared commitment to giving back.

A New Era for the Great Aloha Run

Today, the Great Aloha Run legacy continues through the Affordable Hawaiʻi Foundation, which is carrying the event forward while honoring its long-standing mission of community support and service.

With gratitude for all the Great Aloha Run has meant to Hawaiʻi, the foundation is helping carry this tradition into its next chapter—bringing people together through community, wellness, and shared purpose in Downtown Honolulu.

Through its focus on housing, job training, and employment opportunities, the foundation helps more families find stability, hope, and a path toward a brighter future.

A Special Mahalo to Our Sponsors

It’s been a great run for 41 years. We could not have done it without ALL our wonderful sponsors.
