Significant traffic delays and stops were projected to occur, specifically on Highway 30 between Māʻalaea and Wailuku, from 5:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. The 10K and 5K events were estimated to be finished by 7:30 a.m. while the half marathon is estimated to be completed by 10:30 a.m. Drivers are asked to proceed safely and be aware of runners, volunteers and officials on the road.
There was no full marathon this year due to the ongoing issues and recovery efforts in West Maui and to avoid disrupting or inconveniencing the Lahaina community.
