HOST Park's 2027 Cold Start Warm Finish Family Fun Run/Walk & Canicross

Event Overview

Open to the community, seasoned runners, health enthusiasts, dog runners, or those looking to start the new year right are welcome to participate! Partnering with Aloha Tri Sports and JTL Timing, runners will get their "cold start" with a splash of HOST Park's deep seawater while running along the Kona coastline and end with a "warm finish" as they cross the line and join the energetic celebration, complete with music and a community wellness party!
