Discover the Hawaii’s breathtaking race experience on the Kohala Coast. The Half Distance Triathlon Hawaii begins at Pauoa Bay near the luxurious Fairmont Orchid. Swim 1.2 miles in warm, crystal-clear waters (75°F / 24°C) as the sun rises over the Pacific. Transition to the bike and follow the legendary World Championship course through dramatic lava fields and coastal hills. Finish with a 13.1-mile run weaving through the Mauna Lani Golf Course and along Hoohana Road, ending at the stunning Honu Pointe. With ideal race conditions (avg. 80°F / 27°C), Hawaii’s Kohala Coast offers a triathlon experience like no other.
