YOUR JOURNEY
Your trip around the Big Island of Hawai’i offers fantastic coastal views plus breath-taking inland vistas of some of the world’s most active volcanoes. This mission starts and finishes in the beautiful resort of Kailua-Kona – a magnet for tourists and the home of the Ironman Triathlon World Championships. Be inspired starting at Dig-Me Beach and ending up at the finish line of sport’s most iconic single-day endurance race.
To track your progress you can input your distance on the website manually. But if you use a fitness app – e.g. Strava, Fitbit, Apple Watch or Under Armour – you can automatically sync your progress (set-up notes provided on Action List). You can track yourself, your team and others during the event. You even get to see your virtual surroundings on the Big Island Hula map via Google Street View.
YOUR PACE
The beauty of doing the challenge virtually is that you exercise at your own pace and in your own space throughout to fit in with your other commitments. We also have a Pacer Icon that’ll keep you on target during the challenge. To finish the Big Island Hula by the end of January as a Solo entrant you’ll need to average 5.2 miles per day of running and/or walking.

YOUR PACE
YOUR TEAM
If an hour of running or 2 hours of walking each day sounds like too much why not share the challenge with a friend by setting up a Duo team? Just find a friend that also wants to take part, register with a funky team name and send us a photo so we can add it as the image for your map icon. Suddenly it’s only 2.6 miles per day each to complete the Big Island Hula and both claim your finisher rewards!
