Safety on the Course – Teach your child to maintain a “helicopter” space; i.e. arms out with a 360 degree bubble of space to the next runner.  When caution is needed (i.e. wet surface or a turn), Slow Down.  As a courtesy to faster runners,  please stay to the right so others can pass.

Adult entry fees will be donated to support next year's event. Your entry may not be transferred to another person without prior approval from the event organizers.

Cancellation - If inclement weather, or other circumstances in the surrounding area, threaten to impact the event, we may need to make a decision on whether to continue as planned or make modifications. There are many conditions that could force us to make a change to the run (i.e., high winds, heavy rain, safety concerns on the course, etc.). Modifications to the event may include delaying the start time, modifying the course, or canceling. Keiki Rainbow Run reserves the right to make modifications to the event at any time, and we exercise this right in order to keep participants, volunteers, spectators, organizers, and public safety officers safe.
