Parking for the Waipahu Cane Haul Run and Volunteers Needed

Aloha everyone!
We hope that you are signing up for the 3rd Annual Waipahu Cane Haul 5K Run/Walk on Sunday, September 25, 2011 at Hawaii's Plantation Village.


Parking can be found along Waipahu Street, Malakeke street, Waipahu Depot Road or at the Waipahu Elementary School Parking Lot on Waipahu Street.

Last year we had 486 participants and we are hoping to exceed those numbers this year. One of our biggest concerns with an event of this magnitude is the safety of our participants.

We have identified the need for at least 100 course marshals to assist along the route. If anyone would like to volunteer please click here for the volunteer application form. You will need to download the document, complete it and fax it in to Lorrie Kanno at 671-7985.

Thank you for your assistance and we hope to see you on the day of the race either as a race participant or a volunteer!

Take care and have a great weekend!
