2011 Great Aloha Run Registration Info

The Great Aloha Run will be happening next month and there is still time to sign up for this event.  My husband and son did the race last year and enjoyed it.  You can read all about their great aloha run adventure here.  We still laugh about their experience.

This year the Great Aloha Run will be held on Presidents' Day, February 21, 2011.  The 8.15 mile race begins at Aloha Tower and ends at Aloha Stadium.  The race is a great event for families and children.  Strollers are permitted and lots of people take and use them.

There is also a Keiki Great Aloha Run which will be held on Saturday, February 19, 2011.  This race is a 1.5 mile flat course that starts and ends at the Neil Blaisdell Center.  Cost for this race is $15 per person (if you go with your child you pay for yourself too) and the proceeds go to the PE program at the school you choose.  Registration is limited to the first 1200 participants.

Registration for both races can be done by mail or online.  You can register anytime before February 6 for the Great Aloha Run, but prices go up after January 21 so I would recommend registering before the 21st of this month.  The last day to register for the Keiki Run is January 31.

Scenic Sunday: On Kaneohe Bay

Scenic Sunday...because even I never get over the beauty of these islands.

The view from a kayak on Kaneohe Bay.

Today is a gorgeous day and I'd love to be out on the bay in a kayak like I was when this picture was taken.  Unfortunately I'm at home with a sick kid, but I'm enjoying the sunshine that is coming in my windows and a glimpse of the bay from afar.

Aloha Friday - Weekend Events

I'm slowly getting things reset and back up to speed in my life after Christmas break.  I wasn't up to speed enough to post much on the blog this week but I did compile a list of family friendly events happening this weekend on Oahu and you can find those on my Weekend Events page.  I checked the weather and it looks like it's supposed to be nice this weekend, so if that holds true I hope you can get out and enjoy some of the great green outdoors.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Scenic Sunday: Snow!

Scenic Sunday...there's beauty everywhere, not just in Hawaii.

The Big Island does get snow on occasion, but this picture was taken in California.  We took the kids to see some of the white stuff while we were in the state visiting family.  A definite change of scenery for all of us and we had fun sledding and playing in the snow.

Vacation is over and it's back to the routine for us.  That should mean more consistent posts here on my blog than the last couple weeks, at least once I get all the Christmas decorations taken down and the suitcases unpacked.

Happy New Year everyone!  Hope 2011 is off to a good start for you.
