Let's get dirty at the Omao Track on Kauaʻi, featuring long, short, and easy routes. We have a chance to talk story with the Co-founder Bertram Almeida who along with the Garden island Motorcycle club  helped organize the event, which benefits the Keala Foundation's free youth programs and fights substance abuse.

It’s an experience that brings our community together. Whether you're rucking, running, or walking (yes, you CAN walk) the 10K or 5K course, your impact helps fund Keala Foundation programs that provide free fitness and wellness opportunities for our keiki. RE
