Race for Rescue

🏃‍♂️ Event Overview

The Race for Rescue, Oahu Search and Rescue’s primary fundraising event, is a 5K run that has been held each year, in October. For 2025, the course will be held at OSAR's famous proving grounds, in the heart of Kamilo Nui Valley. Located just outside of Hawaii Kai, this stunning race course winds its way up into the valley and through dense forest, before looping back downhill to the start/finish line.

💰 Funding Purpose

OSAR relies on this event to fund our organization for the next year, covering costs like:

• Insurance: Ensures our operations are protected.
• Technical Rescue Gear: Keeps our team equipped for emergencies.
• Educational Supplies: Enhances our community outreach and training.
• Community Support: It's the support of our community that allows us to support our community!

🎉 Event Details

This year there will be two different events:

• RACE for RESCUE 5K: Will be held on October 25th at the OSAR Training Grounds in Hawaii Kai. Enjoy the amazing scenery while you run/walk a 5K out and back. Unlike previous years, the main race course is not stroller friendly. We will be offering a slightly shorter, more flat course as well for those who want to take on that challenge instead.
• VIRTUAL 5K: Can be run any time during the race window (October 1st - October 25th), anywhere in the world. You simply run/walk 5k at the location and time of your choosing, and then upload your time to the race website.
