Organiser's Description
The Race for Rescue, Oahu Search and Rescues primary fund raising event, is a 5K run that has been held each year, in October. For 2026, the course is located at Kaiwi Mauka, at the south eastern tip of Oahu. Located just outside of Hawaii Kai, this stunning race course, winds it's way up into the valley gaining elevation above the golf course, before looping back down hill to the start/finish line.
OSAR relies on this event to fund our organization for the next year, covering costs like insurance, technical rescue gear, and educational supplies. It's the support of our community that allows us to support our community!
