Sunday March 19th 2023 [UPDATED]
UPDATE: This year's event will use virtual timing due to permitting difficulties.
We will be timing this year's Castle to Hanauma Bay via GPS data rather than via live, in-person timing. We apologize for having to go this route, but it could not be helped. To ensure a competitive and safe event we will be using the following format:
- We will be using the alternate course which includes the Waimanalo back roads.
- This is to ensure rider safety and avoid the challenge segment proceeding straight through any controlled intersections.
- When you make right turns at controlled intersections (stop signs or stop lights) you must obey the rules of the road and yield right of way as appropriate!
- Results will be based on moving time. so if you are stopped due to traffic your result will not be impacted.
- You will be assigned a suggested start time via email.
- This is just a suggestion, your results will be based on actual moving time.
- However, starting at your assigned time will help ensure that we don't have large groups of riders on the same part of the course at the same time.
- We hope that you will observe Time Trial rules and ride a bike appropriate for your registered category, but this will be based on the honor system.
- This is a segment challenge, not a race. Please follow the rules of the road and be aware that you are taking part at your own risk.

Parking [IMPORTANT]
As with previous years we want to be respectful of the small residential neighborhood near our starting line. Nobody likes being woken up by slamming doors and loud voices at 6 in the morning when they don't have a reason to be awake. This year we're going to try and do a better job of making sure we don't disturb the neighborhood. To that end here are the RULES:
- NO PARKING in the Olomana Community (between Maunawili Elementary and the intersection of Kalanianaole Highway and Kailua Rd.)
- NO PARKING at Maunawili Elementary. This is Department of Education property, not public parking.
- Parking is available in the commercial area of downtown Kailua in the vicinity of Kalapawai Cafe & Deli.
- Wherever you park, be respectful. Don't slam your doors, don't talk loudly, and don't play loud music. Remember it is early in the morning, and not everybody has a 20k TT they're excited to get on with.
- Malama Aina. Leave any place you visit in better condition than you found it.
