Get ready for one of the world’s most breathtaking races: the Half Distance Triathlon Hawaii on the legendary Kohala Coast. Your journey begins at sunrise in the clear, turquoise waters of Pauoa Bay, nestled within the luxurious Fairmont Orchid Resort. Enjoy a 1.2-mile swim in the calm Pacific Ocean, where water temperatures hover around a perfect 75°F (24°C).
.
Transition into a scenic and challenging bike course that traces the historic Full Distance World Championship route, winding through lava fields, rolling hills, and sweeping 360° island views. The 56-mile ride finishes back at the Fairmont, setting the stage for a spectacular run.
.
The 13.1-mile run features two loops around the Mauna Lani Golf Course, through striking black lava fields and along Hoohana Road, culminating at the epic finish at Honu Pointe. Expect race-day air temps around 80°F (27°C)—ideal for performance.
