What is the EPIC5 Ultra Run all about?
5 – 50K runs | 5 Hawaiian Islands | 5 days
Join us for the EPIC5 Ultra Run as we cover a total of 250 kilometers in five consecutive days while running a 50-kilometer course on each of Kauai, Oahu, Lanai, Maui, and the Big Island. The courses consist of about 2/3 road and 1/3 trail, and are carefully constructed to ensure athletes experience the best of Hawaii’s natural beauty, rich culture and intriguing history.
Please contact us if you are interested in doing a single island run as a fundraiser to benefit our partner, Special Olympics Hawaii. We have a limited number of slots available.
