About our Location: Bokoa Farms and Forest is a veteran-owned, family farm and forest on the slopes of Mauna Kea, on the Big Island of Hawaii. They practice restorative forestry by reducing the number and effects of invasive plant species, and propagating native and endemic plant species. Specifically, they focus on removing and using strawberry guava, and planting and caring for Koa forests. When you buy the Bokoa Farms products, you support local restorative agriculture, and you protect and restore native forests. When you run this race, you support these efforts.
Is there a course map available? How many loops is the 50k?

Course map will be up when we have it, we currently have an 8 mile loop cleared. We are looking to make it 12- 15 miles, it’s currently our rainy season so we will have a better outline in Jan when we can get machinery on the course.

Aloha,
I’ve signed up for the 16 miler this weekend, wondering if there is a packet pickup location/time yet? Or just plan on arriving early to the race location?
Very excited, this will be my first race ever!
