Hawaii Walk for Health returns August 2 to promote wellness, solidarity, and social justice
Aiea, HI — The Hawaii Walk for Health is back for its second year on Saturday, August 2, 2025, 8 a.m. at Neal S. Blaisdell Park in Aiea, uniting our communities in a shared movement for wellness, justice, and hope.
The Walk is an “easy” well-marked trail, mostly on grass on a flat terrain that is suitable for everyone, including beginners, children and even those with reduced mobility. It will be a pre-determined lap with a quarter mile distance within the park with guided signage and support stations along the way.
More than a walk, this event is a collective step forward — a call for compassion, equity, and action. We walk when we’re joyful or frustrated. We walk when we’re dealing with challenges or seeking answers. We walk to show solidarity and to show that we care.
“Health” goes beyond the physical. We walk for our mental, emotional and spiritual wellness, for our families and our neighbors. We walk to support those struggling with injustice and inequality. As our communities face urgent social and political challenges, this walk offers a path forward — one of unity, awareness, and healing.
Participants of all ages are invited to join this meaningful event. Along the walk route, rally signs will feature powerful messages of solidarity, care, and action — guiding our steps with the values of community and aloha. There will be fun activities planned in the program such as yoga and eskrima, as well as massage stations.
