About this race

💜Join Us for the Freedom Run/Walk – A Celebration of Strength, Hope & Seizure Freedom!

The Epilepsy Foundation of Hawai‘i’s annual Freedom Run/Walk brings together families, friends, and community members to raise awareness and support those impacted by epilepsy.

Freedom means freedom from stigma and fear around seizures — and we’re running (and walking!) together for a more informed, inclusive Hawai‘i.

Join fellow runners on August 2, 2026 for the Freedom Run for Epilepsy Awareness. It's a fantastic 5K, 10K, 1.6K featuring a flat and fast course in Kailua-Kona.
