Located on the northern side of the island and near the airport, Keopuolani Regional Park is the largest park on Maui at 110 acres. It’s a good spot to do some off-road running on its couple of miles of paved trails over rolling hill terrain. There are also several fields, and the War Memorial Stadium Complex located across the street, which has a track. This is a popular site for 5k races — see the map below for the course. A ~1 mile section of the Kahului Beach Rd., bordering the park, is also pleasant for running, with water views and a decent shoulder.

This is one of the most popular paths on Maui. Not only is it a gorgeous beachfront walkway with an easy flat surface, it starts just around the corner from several resorts.
Kahului, tucked into the north side of the valley near the airport, is one of the most populous areas on Maui, and home to a long stretch of beach. Run on paths up to 3.5 miles, and also the runnable beach!
If you prefer to break away from traffic in the Wailea area, you can break off onto the Wailea Beach Path, a beautiful 1.5 mile boardwalk stretching along the sea in the premiere resort area of the island.
This is a 5.7 mile forested route with heavy leaf cover and a springy pine needle coated path. It's a hilly trail run recommended by the Valley Isle Road Runners.
Waihao Spring is another heavily forested, pine-needly trail, though significantly easier than the Makawao loop. One trip around is a flat and steady 2.8 miles, without much uphill gain.
A one-of-a-kind run on a barren volcano, with incredible ocean views. Very challenging 10-mile run to the 10,000-foot summit is 3,000 foot gain. Or, have a partner drop you part way or go up for sunrise and run down.
