KAILUA-KONA — The Kona Marathon turns 25 this year, but the celebrations were on hold on Saturday morning as the keiki took center stage celebrating a significant anniversary of their own.
The 10th annual Aloha Keiki Run offered various courses for over 150 eager participants that showed up, varying from a 100-yard dash to a 1-mile run, depending on age.
The short course catered to keiki ages 1-4, with little experience running — or even walking for that matter. Some needed a helping hand from their parents to finish, but don’t worry — a little parental guidance for the young athletes was well within the rules and they all received a finisher medal.
The scene now shifts to Waikoloa for Kona Marathon’s next event, the Health and Fitness Fair, which will be held on June 23 at the Hilton Waikoloa Village.
Race day for the Kona Marathon, which also includes a half marathon, quarter marathon and 5K race, is set for June 24.
