Join us for the 18th annual Run for the Dry Forest at Puʻuwaʻawaʻa Forest Reserve! This unique event offers a chance to explore the stunning Pu‘uwa‘awa‘a landscape while directly supporting vital conservation efforts.

Pu‘uwa‘awa‘a is a State-managed area that is one of very few intact examples of a Hawaiian dryland forest. Global estimates show tropical dry forests have been reduced to less than 10% of their previous coverage.Proceeds will be used for research and management at Pu‘uwa‘awa‘a and adjacent Pu‘u Anahulu. 

Registration is required, and we encourage you to sign up early as prices will increase closer to race day. Please note, there will be no same-day registration. To learn more and to register, please go to: https://www.akakaforests.org/events/2025-run-for-the-dry-forest
