The Hula Loop is a timed six-hour event where you run as many laps as you want on a mostly flat course, and the runner with the most distance at the end wins. The organizers pick courses that drain well, have some shade, and sit near real restrooms. Expect a tropical theme running through everything, including the aid station, which goes a bit beyond the basics.

Going by the 2026 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.
Top 3: Ryan Loehding (5:48:31) · Kevin McCormick (5:56:17) · Mark Evans (5:58:47)
The Hula Loop 6-Hour Sunday Series has been held every year since at least 2018. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.

How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
Set a goal and get a pace band: every mile split on a card sized for your phone lock screen, so race morning needs no math.

Almost certainly not. Half the 21K field finished slower than 3:48:52, and the last recorded finisher came in around 5:58:47, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
It is a small race (24 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 21K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 21K winner ran 1:16:26 while the median finisher took 3:48:52. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
