Thousands of runners and walkers took to the streets of Honolulu for the 35th Hawaii Pacific Health Great Aloha Run this morning.

The annual Presidents Day event features an 8.15-mile course from Aloha Tower to Aloha Stadium.

Streets along and around the course were closed for the duration of the run.

Last year about 18,000 runners ran the race.

The race has raised more than $14 million for about 150 nonprofit organizations throughout Hawaii.
