The Finish: Aloha Stadium

At the 6-mile marker, you see the round rusty shape of the Stadium. It gets bigger and bigger and you think the end is in sight. Not! You first must go through the Stadium gates and manuever through almost a half mile of parking lot before heading down North Tunnel to the Great Aloha Run Finish Line on the Stadium Floor.

You made it! Caution is advised when hitting the green astroturf on the Stadium Floor. Be aware that after 8.15 miles of pavement, your legs may give way when stepping onto the soft stadium floor.

CROSSING THE FINISH LINE INTO THE CHUTES

• Military/Sounds of Freedom - From parking lot, merge to left, down the tunnel, left chute.
• Wheelchairs, Strollers & Racewalkers - From parking lot, merge right, down tunnel, right chute.
• All Runners & Walkers - Runners must cross the finish line mats so that an electronic signal will record their finish for an accurate finish time. You must have a start signal recorded from the start line and a finish signal recorded in order to get an official time.
  
  At the Finish Line, there will be dozens of volunteers to assist in removing runners' timing chips. Because the timing chip is fastened to the top of the runner's shoe, participants are asked to cooperate with our volunteers while they carefully clip off the timing chip. ALL TIMING CHIPS MUST BE RETURNED BEFORE EXITING THE STADIUM FLOOR.
• Keep clear of Finish Line area.

POST RACE DISTRIBUTION

Amino Vital, Enjoy Snacks, Hawaiian Spring Natural Water — the official drink of the Great Aloha Run, Love's Bakery sweet bread, bananas and other goodies can be picked up before the finisher's t-shirt distribution.

Once through the Finish Line, proceed outside the stadium floor to get your refreshments and well-earned finisher's T-shirt. Runners are asked to move through the distribution area quickly as this area is small and must accommodate all of our 20,000+ runners.

Participants should plan to meet their parties outside the distribution areas by designating a meeting point inside the stadium where you can take in the Stadium Party Entertainment, Awards Ceremony, Fabulous Prize Giveaways and Special Events.
