The Hana Relay is a milestone event for Hawaii running, drawing teams of runners from local Maui residents, the other Hawaiian islands, the mainland and from around the world. Celebrating its 46th year, the race consists of teams of six runners that take turns running 18 segments along the 52 mile road from Kahului to Hana. Wacky costumes and decorated vans are encouraged, making the event more of a celebration than a competition. 

gerdel.studio LLC is proud to offer support as a event sponsor to Valley Isle Road Runners, the local running club that organizes the event each year. We appreciate the way the event brings together Maui's community and encourages everyone to get out there running, from the elites to the newcomers to the sport.
