Plan Description
Get ready for an unforgettable Half Distance Triathlon on Hawaii’s stunning Kohala Coast. Your race begins at the serene Pauoa Bay, within the luxurious Fairmont Orchid resort. As the sun rises over the Pacific, dive into a crystal-clear 1.2-mile swim in 75°F (24°C) waters.
The bike leg challenges you with the legendary northern Kohala Coast course — the same route used in the Full Distance Triathlon World Championship. Ride past dramatic lava fields, rolling hills, and panoramic ocean views, all the way back to the Fairmont Orchid.
Your 13.1-mile run loops around the breathtaking Mauna Lani Golf Course and Hoohana Road, weaving through black lava fields before an epic beachfront finish at Honu Pointe. With race-day temps averaging 80°F (27°C), Hawaii offers ideal conditions for your best race yet.
