The Keiki Fun Zone opens at 7 a.m. with a photo booth by Mobi, balloon animals, face painting and more. Your little ones can show off their best moves with a silent disco from Hawai‘i Dance Bomb, practice drills with i9 Sports and, starting from 8 a.m., snap a photo with Ariel and Captain America from Storybook Entertainment.

4. The prizes!

If that runner’s high isn’t enough motivation, this might: The top three male and female finishers will each receive a special prize:

1st Place (one male, one female): iPhone Xs Max

2nd Place (one male, one female): iPad Pro 11-inch

3rd Place (one male, one female): Apple Watch Series 3

5. It’s for a great cause.

A portion of proceeds will benefit two local nonprofits: Kaho‘omiki, which inspires kama‘āina to embrace healthy lifestyles through signature events, programming and capacity-building initiatives, and the Hawai‘i Afterschool Alliance, which is dedicated to sustaining quality afterschool programs that support academic, social, emotional and physical outcomes of Hawai‘i’s keiki.
