Lavaman Waikoloa Sunset 5K Run/Walk

Lavaman Waikoloa Sunset 5K Run/Walk takes place in Waikoloa, Hawaii, on April 2, 2027. The single format is a 5K run or walk (3.1 miles) with an unusual start time of 5:15 PM.

An evening race changes the whole day, and mostly for the better: no pre-dawn alarm, and you have had two meals in you by the time you start. The trap is eating too close to the gun, so keep the last proper meal three or four hours out and stick to something small after that. Otherwise the distance is as approachable as racing gets, needing about a month of running three times a week, and the run-or-walk format means nobody is out of place at the back. If you have been training, a late start usually produces a quicker 3.1 miles than an early one.
