The Kona 2.4 Mile Swim scheduled for March 22 has been cancelled. Our top priority is always the safety of our swimmers, volunteers, and community. Brown water advisories caused the cancellation.
We are in the process of rescheduling the event for Sunday April 12th.
All current registrations will automatically be rolled over into the race on April 12th.
The registration time period will be extended to end of day Thursday April 9th.
Race details stay the same with the new race date.

Kailua-Kona is an unincorporated community and, under the name Kailua, a census-designated place (CDP) in Hawaii County, Hawaii, United States. It is most commonly referred to simply as Kona, but also as Kona Town, and occasionally as Kailua, thus its less frequent use. Kailua-Kona is the second-largest settlement on the island of Hawaii and the largest on the island's west side, where it is the center of commerce and the tourist industry. Kailua-Kona is served by Kona International Airport, just to the north in the adjacent CDP of Kalaoa. The population was 19,713 at the 2020 census, up from 11,975 at the 2010 census.
