In the Kailua Bay area, there are some decent running options. At Kailua Beach Park, there’s a pleasant bike path that runs for 0.5 miles. There’s also decent running on Kailua Beach and adjacent Lanikai Beach, which can have firmer sand near the water.
Just above the beach, there’s a decent shoulder along Mokulua Dr. and Aalapapa Dr. Not that scenic, but runnable. We also like running along the quiet residential streets in Kailua, west of N Kalaheo Ave. See also our route on the Kawainui Marsh Bike Trail.
Ambitious trail runners can attempt the Lanikai Pillbox Hike.
