Join our Great Aloha Run Team (#47)

Honolulu Campus, Return forms to Student Life or Apprenticeship Offices

The Great Aloha Run is a charity event that walks, runs or rolls from Aloha Tower to Aloha Stadium to raise funds for the collective Carol Kai Charities. There is a place in the Great Aloha Run for everyone who wants to participate. It is for people of ALL ability levels. It is this inclusive philosophy that reflects the Hawaiian name for this race - “Ke kukini me ke aloha pau‘ole” — the race with compassionate love.

The HCC Great Aloha Run Team Sign Up is underway. We are Code#47. Be sure you indicate this on GAR Entry Form in the area for "100 Club Code." Our team is open to students, faculty, staff, families, friends, supporters of all kinds. THE DEADLINE IS DECEMBER 4.

The GAR Entry Form is attached at the bottom of this event listing. It is preferred that you return the paper copy form through our Team Captains so we can be sure we know you are on our team. Students return forms to Emily in Student Life (Bldg 2, 1st flr) and Non-students to Guy in the Apprenticeship Office (Bldg 4, Rm 115) but you may submit them online (thorugh or mail them directly with Club Code #47 indicated.

HCC Team Members can look forward to being part of the first college team to join GAR as a 100 Club. Exclusive to our team are limited edition team shirts that are in addition to the "Team in Training" shirts GAR will provide you. We will also give you a special kudos just for signing up. Many on the team refer to this event as the GAR Walk because we come out for the cause not to be first across the finish line. Our team focuses on being happy and healthy while supporting this charity event. Our finishers who had never been this distance, have stroller babies, once thought themselves too old and so on make us proud to have been an inclusive team encouraging community and health.

Since this is a charity event, we want to encourage as many people to sign up with $30 donation as possible. For current HCC students interested in participating, for whom $30 is a financial hardship right now, Student Life will help match you with sponsors for the event so that you can still participate. Sponsorships are first come, first serve - so sign up soon.

Pre-race activities will include walking groups, informational talk story (nutrition, hydration, fitness, proper shoes, logistics...),treats for turning in your forms, healthy lunch days, and more.

Race-day we gather for those who want to walk or run collectively. Post-race there is an after-party and special raffle for all team members at the stadium and ANOTHER post-party back at HCC campus.
