The 5 km course includes stretches of dirt, coarse rock, and paved roads. Suitable for most people, including families. Because of the rocky sections, sturdy running or walking shoes are recommended and baby strollers should have large wheels. There is 300 feet of elevation gain/loss along this loop route. Start at the Meeting House and circle the reservoir once before heading up the dirt road past the parking area to the main ranch road. Turn left and proceed down the paved road about 1.1 miles. You will be directed left again over a section of rocky road for about 1/4 mile to the old airstrip. Continue down the airstrip and turn left after the airplane hangar. The trail goes uphill, through an open gate and back to the Meeting House.

The 10 km loop course is a challenging trail running experience, featuring 1200 feet of elevation gain in the first half (3 miles), loose rocky footing and narrow winding trails. Start at the Meeting House and run one lap around the reservoir before heading up the steep and winding 4wd road. From the crest above Pu‘u Wa‘awa‘a (the half-way point) you may be able to see Hualālai, Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea and Kohala. Circle the cinder cone and enjoy the fast single track descent through an old corral and horse pasture, to the finish at the Meeting House. This event is for experienced trail runners only. Baby strollers are not allowed.
