Sponsored by the Waipahu Community Coalition, Weed & Seed - Waipahu and the Volunteer Resource Center of Hawaii, the race will benefit the Waipahu Community Coalition’s efforts to provide drug-free events for families and children.

“We are supporting this event so that everyone can get to know the real Waipahu,” said Sgt. Shellie Paiva of CPT/Weed & Seed - Waipahu. “Waipahu is a gathering place for people of all races and ages, a place full of history, and a place many call home.”

Drivers should note roads near and along the race route will be closed from 6 to 11 a.m.
