The Valley Isle Road Runners are the original founders the race.
Seven teams ran the very first year. The race initially consisted of 1 mile legs in the first year but teams ran
longer legs toward the end of the race. UH track team hold the record, 4hrs and 20 min for the fastest time but that was when they did 1 mile legs.
Aaron Altura had a team which holds the running record based on the current leg set up of about 4hrs and 30min.
Another team actually ran faster than Aaron’s team but was disqualified for being jerks and their check bounced and never paid. 

The relay in the early years quickly developed into one of Hawaii’s top competitive relay races. Teams from across the state would come. Top runners representing their island would compete, Kauai, Big Island, Oahu, and Maui were all represented in most of the early events mostly sponsored by a company. Since Joe Alueta started directing in 1993 he moved the race to a more fun event with goofy prizes.

In 2020 - 2022 COVID put a dead stop to all events world wide and Hawaii was no exception.
