The Great Aloha Run is an eight-mile fun run from Aloha Tower to Aloha Stadium that is held every President's Day. The proceeds raised from the entry fees goes to a few local charities. Over 15,000 participants run the race, that bridges many age groups. This year will be the 25th Anniversary of the Great Aloha Run.
Several units from the US Armed Forces run in formation, and has drawn cheers from other participants, especially with many of them returning from deployments. One of the most endearing sights of last year's race, was a US Army veteran who lost a leg in combat, and ran the race with a prosthetic limb.
Today's photo was taken as race course marshalls put the finishing touches, in the pre-dawn darkness, on the Aloha Stadium Field Turf®.

They must have been glad to see that big "Finish" sign at the end! I'm sure it was very emotional to see that soldier doing the race.
