OLI KAI 2025
About Oli Kai
This is a race for EVERYONE. The course for all distances is a 2.1-mile loop with around 190 feet of elevation gain. You decide what happens in all your hours of running. We'll have an aid station set up for you, AND you can set up your own in the S/F area. You can run or walk the entire time or skip a loop — it's simply what you want to run or walk in 3, 6, or 9 hours. It's a fantastic race for new and seasoned trail runners. To make it more fun in 2026, we're partnering with Wild Trails — come camp Friday and/or Saturday night, run our race, stick around for a campfire concert, food, and fun, then wake up Sunday to run Oli Via — a 5K or half marathon with Wild Trails. Breakfast afterward, too.
