Maui Ocean Center will present the 15th annual Maui 5K from 7 to 9 a.m. Sunday, March 1. Online registration, including new youth rates for ages 5 to 17, ends February 26. Participants have the option to take part in a 5K run through Mā’alaea or walk an alternate mile-long loop. For those who can’t attend, a virtual run or walk is also offered. Proceeds from the event go directly to the community, providing funding for local schools. Last year, about 1,200 Maui residents and visitors ran and walked in the Maui 5K, raising a record $72,000. Maui Ocean Center is returning as the presenting sponsor for the Maui 5K. To register for this year’s Maui 5K go to maui5k.org.
