The Great Aloha run (8.15 miles )is held on February 19th this year. The winner gets $1,000 and if you decide to do the mile a couple of hrs afterwards, you will get $500 if you win. 2nd and 3rd place get price money as well.
If you are a decent runner, you will most likely win and get a paid vacation to Hawaii.
It will be fun :-)
since it's 5 days away...a little planning would be required.
I was told by a race official they cancelled the mile this year due to construction in the stadium.
If you look at the time schedule on the website, it still looks like there will be a mile race.
And yes, it's 5 days away but it doesn't take much planning to go to Hawaii :-) Surf shorts and slippers...that's really all you need.
actually looked at running this but they don't do travel so decided against spending $500 to make $1000= net me $500...not worth it.
saw your post and called and they did confirm that there is NO mile this year due to the lack of a warning track...not sure why that matters but oh well, would have been barely worth spending $500 on the plane fare but maybe next time...
dude-
It is so unfair that you have to win to get the prize. They should do a random drawing. That would be more fair.
Yeah well, I said 'paid vacation'. I didn't promise that it would make you rich :-)
Yeah but it's easier to win the Great Aloha Run than it is to win random prices in it hahaha. I think there are about 12,000 runners :-)
hehe, that is actually true.
