Honolulu Century Ride
Kaiwi Bike & Bus
This is brand-new ride option designed specifically for novice cyclists, families, and anyone who wants to enjoy a taste of the Honolulu Century Ride without taking on a longer distance. Bike 13.5 miles to Sandy Beach, enjoy the car-free Kaiwi Coast, a malasada, the beachfront Aid Station, and then catch a ride back to Kapi‘olani Park on a carter bus!
Route Changes
Waimānalo will be seeing two route changes for the Honolulu Century Ride. The first is that riders will be spending a little less time on the highway this year. When you see the 7-11, turn left onto Oluolu St. and ride to Hihimanu St.
Secondly, the rains have damaged Waikupanaha St. so riders will be making a small detour in the back roads.
Aloha Fun Ride
Walk, Bike, & Roll Event
To be more inclusive we are making the 2026 Honolulu Aloha Fun Ride a “Walk, Bike, Roll” event. This is to encourage keiki and families to use active and non-motorized transportation like walking, bicycling, scootering, or skateboarding to explore this 3.5 mile course. Starting at 9:30am, participants will be finishing just in time for the live entertainment at the Kapi‘olani Park Bandstand.
