Hi guys & gals,
 
I noticed the flyer for this run/walk yesterday and did some checking.
 
October 5, 2014 Sunday
6:30AM Starts
8:30AM Ends

KA IWI COAST RUN/WALK sponsored by Hui Nalu Canoe Club. The event is expected to have 1,000 runners.  It will start at Sandy Beach Park., to Kalanianaole Hwy., to turn into Maunalua Bay Beach Park at Keahole St, to finish at Hui Nalu Canoe Halau near Hawaii Kai Dr.  Kalanianaole Hwy will be closed in both directions from Hanauma Bay Driveway to Kealahou St. from approximately 6 am to 8:30 am.  Contact:  Bozo Vierra 383-8396 For more info, visit their website at: http://www.kaiwicoastrun.org/
 
The entire highway will be CLOSED.  There will be no access to the K.H. Shooting Complex from approximately 6:00am till the runners/walkers clear the area.
 
Please plan accordingly.

I don't know about everyone else, but does the fact that "they" are going to close the road, and effectively close the only public shooting range on the island, on one of the few days the public can actually make use of the range, make anyone else a little upset?

The City should make Koko Head a camp site.That way you can camp out overnight to reserve your benches.

Just plan to get to the range later. The highway will open after the run is done.
