Course & Travel Notes
You'll want to arrive in Kailua, Hawaii well before race day on February 21st, 2027—the nearest airport is Kaneohe Bay MCAS, just 4.2 miles from the venue, which makes for a quick transfer. The 6:45 AM start time means you'll be hitting the pavement right around sunrise (6:57 AM that morning), so don't be surprised if conditions are still a bit dim at the gun. February typically brings pleasant weather to the islands with highs around 78°F and lows near 66°F, though there's about a 53% chance of rain, so pack layers and don't leave your rain gear at home. The 10-Miler and 5K both run at just 7 feet of elevation, so you won't have to worry about the altitude—just focus on enjoying the scenery and the morning breeze.
