RFID chip timing!
The Kaʻū Coffee Trail Run returns for its 10th year offering moderate to highly-challenging 5K, 10K and 1/2 marathon and 50k races through macadamia nut and coffee fields. While crossing the beautiful slopes of rural Ka'u you will treated to breathtaking, 180-degree views of the ocean.
All proceeds from this event stay in Kaʻū to benefit the Kaʻū community. The race is sponsored by 'O Kaʻū Kakou, a volunteer-based 501(c)(3) non -profit community service organization.
The race begins and ends at the Kaʻū 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.
