WE ARE LOOKING FOR 2026 SPONSORS
Connect Your Brand. Support Our Community. Share the Aloha.
The Molokaʻi Holokai is more than just a race; it’s a two-day Hoʻolauleʻa (festival) that celebrates the spirit of aloha, our youth, and our community.
On July 17-18, 2026, the world’s elite ocean athletes—from paddlers to foilers—will gather to take on the legendary 26-mile Pailolo Channel, one of the greatest downwind runs in the world.
This is a premier event in ocean sports, an act of regenerative tourism, and a powerful platform. We are seeking key partners who share our values of perseverance, community, and passion for the ocean to help us write the next chapter of this story.
The Opportunity: A Partnership of Value
When you partner with the Molokaʻi Holokai, you don’t just get a logo on a t-shirt. You get a fully integrated partnership.
We work with each sponsor to build a custom package that meets your unique marketing goals. Opportunities include:
- Unmatched Brand Visibility across the 2-day festival
- Lead Naming Rights for key events (like the Pailolo Channel crossing, the 5K Holo Fun Run, or the Keiki Race)
- Global Digital & Media Exposure through our social channels and world-class media partners
- On-Site Activation to connect directly with athletes and spectators
- Community Integration showing your brand’s commitment to supporting Hawaiʻi’s youth and culture

Hotel Molokai, Friendly Isle Auto Parts & Supplies, Atlas Building Supplies, Take’s Variety Store, Misaki’s, Friendly Market, Kualapuu Market, Kumu Farms, Young Brothers, Molokai Fish and Dive
The Molokai Holokai Ho’olaule’a began in 2003 as Na Opio Hana Pa’a, a Celebration of Youth Opportunities. It involved a Maui to Molokai Challenge to bring ocean enthusiasts to Molokai. The event included community events and culminated in music and festivities at Malama Park. Over the years, the event evolved and adapted to community needs. However, Malama Park faced challenges and became unavailable. The hope is to bring Malama Park back as a venue for the event in the future.
Coming soon, registration for the following:
Molokai Holo 5 k fun run/walk
Skate Jam Session
Gorilla Ogo and Mangrove Seed Contest
Cultural Workshops
