5th Annual Ka'u Coffee Trail Run
The 5th Annual Ka'u Coffee Trail run celebrates its award-winning Ka'u Coffee. All proceeds from this event stay in Ka'u to benefit the Ka'u community.
Sponsored by 'O Ka'u Kakou, a volunteer-based 501(c)(3) non -profit community service organization.
On September 22, 2018 the Ka'u Coffee Trail Run returns for its 5th year offering moderate to highly-challenging 5K, 10K and 1/2 marathon races through macadamia nut and coffee fields along the beautiful slopes of rural Ka'u on the southern side of Hawaii Island.
The race begins and ends at the Ka'u Coffee Mill in Pahala (Wood Valley). The course starts with a family-friendly 5K, continues uphill through a moderately-challenging 10K and reaches a 3100-foot elevation in the vigorously-exhilarating Half Marathon.
Invite your friends and family to cheer you on and enjoy the local event.
Runners will receive a race goodies bag, including a T-shirt and more.
