Running Tours in Hawaii

Test your endurance on an intense, 2-hour hike to one of the most beautiful spots in Oahu. Climb over 1,000 stairs to Koko Head Crater, a distance of almost a mile that rises some 1,028 feet in elevation along the way. This popular endurance trail is a favorite training ground for local runners and hikers, but it's been known to leave many a tourist gasping for air in the quest. At the top is the prize - a view as breathtaking as the breath it required to get there.
