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.
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.
Walk registration is open now at: bit.ly/walkforhealth
Hosted by four committed organizations — the University of the Philippines Alumni Association of Hawai‘i (UPAAH), the National Alliance for Filipino Concerns (NAFCON), the Hawai‘i Workers Center (HWC), and the Hawai‘i Public Health Institute — this walk raises awareness and funds to support initiatives around health, immigrant rights, workers’ advocacy, and cultural education.
