Signature event

Welcome to the 13th Annual Maui 5K!

Maui Ocean Center welcomes the community back in person for the 13th annual Maui 5K Run and Walk on Sunday, March 3, 2024! There will be a timed 5K run/walk and an untimed 1-mile walk for everyone from keiki (children) to kupuna (elders).

 

Challenge your classmates to run for your school and help spread the word during your next family get-together! Join in to support Maui nui schools, reconnect with the community, and celebrate the outdoors at this family-friendly event.

 

An extra donation (optional) may be made for the school of your choice during online registration.

About the maui 5k

Maui Ocean Center is proud to be the title sponsor for this year’s annual Maui 5K — a fun, healthy event for students, parents, athletes, and non-athletes alike.

 

Each spring, Maui’s keiki can earn money for their schools and develop healthy fitness habits during a 5K run/walk or 1-mile walk. Proceeds raised by the event provide funds to maintain or purchase new equipment for schools’ physical fitness, play, and athletic programs.

 

Help us help them!

 

Maui 5K is in need of donations and/or sponsorships from Maui businesses. Donations can include:
