Does anybody have suggestions for good running paths at or around Aulani? I'm hoping for a 10k length a few times a week...but I would be happy with 5k if that's what's around.

TIA!
 
Running on the sidewalks is an option. From the security shed near the entrance to the area, down past the marina and back is about 3 miles.

Thank you! We've never been, so I am trying to picture this and file it away ;).
 
There is the ocean front path too but I am not sure how long it is. It is about a 10 minutes leisurely stroll from one end to the other.

I go for long walks there, and my DH does some much longer runs. You can easily run through the neighborhoods right there, so finding a way to run 5 miles won't be hard.

You'll be in good company; we see a lot of folks out running every morning, both locals and tourists.

I want to say that path is about a mile and a half down and back...maybe?. I go on that when I walk, but use the sidewalk route when I run. The only reason is that it keeps me from having to go around the folks who are just standing around or walking then suddenly stopping to take a picture while on the path. Totally cool that they are doing that, but I feel like I have to pay extra attention when I'm on that path to avoid people who are not paying attention.
 
From Aulani south to the end of the beach path and back is about 2 miles. I measured it on Google Maps before we left and brought all my running gear. Then I was having so much fun on vacation I didn't run once. Regretted that when I got home!
 


Thanks everyone! These responses (and photos, too, thank you!) were super helpful. I'm so looking forward to running without getting freezing cold snow in my shoes at every turn ;).
 
We were here this past week. Quick caution on the path. If you are an early morning runner, their sprinklers are on and the path is VERY slick in some places (specially near the park in front of Marriott and the marina). The run from Aulani to Marina is just under 3 miles and is an excellent run with beautiful scenery along the way.

You can also run outside of Aulani, starting outside the lobby. That run takes you in front of all the resorts and around the golf course and is about 6 miles. IMO it is not as fun with lots of people to try to run around.

Morning runs are very pleasant and almost therapeutic. Due to time diff, we were up at 5 am almost every day and got in good runs. Enjoy your time there.

From Aulani to the marina is 3 miles, or 3 miles round trip? Wouldn't be as bad as when I almost missed the "half marathoners turn right, 50 milers go straight" sign, :sad: but just checking.
 
When I was there 2 years ago, I ran down to end of the path by the Marriott and then down around the point on Marina. Repeated this twice and my Garmin showed 4.69 miles. Also ran on the road through Ko Olina but I enjoy the ocean, being land-locked.

With the time change, up early so ran every second day and really enjoyed it. Gets quite busy around 9 am.

Going back in April and already looking forward to running along the ocean in the morning and working off more calories for other vacation indulgences.
 
If you're into to trail running, I just ran down next to the unused train tracks all the way to the power plant and back.

How "trail" are you talking? Like dirt, or like clamoring over rocks and roots? First kind, I like. Second one, not so much ;)
 
It's mostly dirt, but there are some sections where you're running over the rocks that are normally around train tracks. I usually chose the rocks if it was a muddy section.
