only race that solely raises money for Hawai‘i charities. The proceeds from this iconic community event financially assists scholarship programs and special projects of more than 150 selected charitable organizations serving the community needs in the state.
We have longtime support- ers, such as Carolyn Kargol and Missy Lange, who do the race to support local charities and feel the true spirit of alo- ha. They’ve been participants of the run for all 37 years.
Traditionally, the race route took participants from Aloha Tower in downtown Honolulu to Aloha Stadium in Hālawa. For those on O‘ahu, this year will be extra special as finishers will be treated to a drive-thru celebration as we bid “a hui hou” to Aloha Sta- dium. It’s going to be a party with bands, cheerleaders and lots of happy chaos.
For the first virtual itera- tion of the race, runners from around the world participat- ed generating $238,000 for local Hawai‘i communities. Over the course of its near- ly 40-year history, the Great Aloha Run has raised more than $15 million awarded to nonprofit health and human service organizations and community groups.
As COVID-19 continues, our charities such as the Boys & Girls Clubs, Special Olym- pics and the United Cerebral Palsy Association of Hawai‘i have never stopped providing support. It is our time to give back to them. Will you sign up to participate this year in the Ke Kukini Me Ke Aloha Pau‘ole – the race with com- passionate love?
