Experience the magic of racing a Half Distance Triathlon on Hawaii’s breathtaking Kohala Coast. Start your race with a sunrise swim in the calm, clear waters of Pauoa Bay at the Fairmont Orchid. After your 1.2-mile swim, ride the iconic northern Kohala Coast route—home to the IRONMAN World Championship. The bike course winds through dramatic lava fields, rolling hills, and 360° island vistas before returning to the Fairmont. Finish strong with a 13.1-mile run around the stunning Mauna Lani Golf Course and Hoohana Road, culminating at the unforgettable Honu Pointe finish line.
