A pleasant spot for running in the Pearl Harbor area, about 12 miles west of Honolulu. A paved bike path runs from near Aloha Stadium to Waipahu, for about 5 miles. The scenery is a mix— some of the sites near Pearl Harbor, residential neighborhoods, lochs, farms, parks, and wildlife refuges. The nicest section is the 3.5 miles west from Blaisdell Park, which is 1.5 miles west of the eastern terminus of the trail. It’s also one of the flatter spots for running on the fairly hilly island of Oahu.

Other Routes in Honolulu, HI
One of the iconic runs in Hawaii. This route tours the 2 mile long beach along a waterfront boardwalk through Honolulu’s beachfront neighborhood, with views to the water, crashing surf, and the Diamond Head Volcano. Good add-on options.
Diamond Head Loop
Honolulu, HI (Includes Oahu)
A great loop around Honolulu’s most iconic landmark. Hilly, with sweeping views of Honolulu’s east side: High-end homes, parks, surfers on the beaches below, and migrating humpback whales. Perimeter loop is 4.6 miles, with optional trail run to summit.
Popular park with a 3-mile loop is a nice combination of waterfront promenade along Ala Moana Beach, a loop around Magic Island (great views of the Honolulu skyline & Diamond Head), and a section along the Ala Wai Canal.
A pleasant waterside run along the Ala Wai Cana just north of Waikiki Beach. Popular among local runners for its light traffic and well-maintained path. Running track at Ala Wai Park. Can add University of Hawaii, and/or combine with other routes!
2 mile loop around park. Highlights are palm-lined section along Kalakaua Ave. and the banyan-shaded Paki Ave. A nice variation or add-on to Waikiki, Diamond Head, Ala Wai Canal runs.
This scenic drive from Hanauma Bay to Waimanalo along the Kalanianaole Highway is also suitable for running. It's 7.5 miles one-way, with a volcanic crater on one side and a the Pacific Ocean on the other. Narrow shoulder some sections.
Hugely scenic, hilly trail run on a wide, paved path that nearly 2 miles one-way from just off the Kalanianaole Highway to the red-roofed Makapu‘u Lighthouse. Great views of the coast and islets. Can combine with more rugged Kaiwi Shoreline Trail.
In Kailua, the Kawainui Marsh Bike Trail is flat, gravel skirting the eastern edge of the Kawainui Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary, an 800-acre wetland featuring an array of waterbirds and marsh plants. Lovely views of the wetlands.
Running options in the Kailua area: a short bike path along Kailua Bay, decent beach running on Kailua & Lanikai Beach, pleasant residential streets, and the Kawainui Marsh Bike Trail, which is just inland. The Lanikai Pillbox Hike is a challenging trail run.
A wonderful and accessible trail run to Ka‘ena Point in the northwestern part of Oahu. The trail runs along a former rail bed and dirt road, so it is fairly wide and not technical. Views of boulder beaches, tidal pools, cliffs, coastal plain, and sand dunes.
At the southwestern end of Oahu near Kapolei, there's a concrete path passing several beachfront resorts in Ko'Olina, passing four man-made lagoons. Nice water views & lush vegetation. 5 km out & back.
