‘My 5th Hapalua half marathon, the best one yet! Got to do it with friends and even though I didn't train at all this time still came in under 2:30. Awesome to see people embrace the fitness journey whatever that may be for them! Doug Wong’

‘This is my favorite half. Well organized and awesome spectators. Beautiful path. Everyone was friendly. So glad came to HI for my 1st half on the West Coast. Loved the shaved ice and fresh pineapple juice. The best traffic control ever. Beautiful weather. Perfect run!!! Hazel Reed’

‘This race marked my 7th state on my quest for a half in each state. This race was well organized and the post race food was amazing (best I've seen yet, I've done 10 halfs and 2 fulls)! I finished in 3:00 hours and there was still plenty of food left. I'm so glad I chose this race for my Hawaiian one! Mahalo! Karissa Mcspadden’
