Turtle Bay Biathlon, After-party Aug. 23

Biathlon enthusiasts have a brand-new course to conquer when Turtle Bay Resort presents its inaugural Turtle Bay Biathlon Aug. 23. The Kahuku resort has two race options, both starting at 10 a.m., with racers checking in at 8:30 on the Great Lawn.

The Master’s long course starts on the beach in front of Ola restaurant, a 1,200-meter course running around Kuilima Point. The Shaolin short course shaves off distance for a 1,000-meter rush, starting along the reef near Hang Ten Bar & Grill. Both routes close with a 5K run around the coast at Kawela Bay on a marked trail. Everyone reconvenes at the Great Lawn for the awards ceremony and post-party.

Artis Family Band (at 2 p.m.) and DJ Baumer perform, with an aerial yoga demonstration from The Hangout. Food from Ke Nui Kitchen, Gerald’s Smoked Meats & Plates, Hawaiian Fresh Farms, ProBar and Paletas Ice Cream also will be available, as well as beer from Kona Brewing Co. Vendors, nonprofits and conservation group booths round out the event.
