Congratulations to Linda Wolven, winner of OluKai’s Passage to Maui promotion, whose winning entry was made at Snyder Shoes in Ludington, Michigan.

This will be Linda’s first trip to Hawaii and her first trip on a plane…ever!

While on Maui, they will get a fun, friendly and very local, all-access island tour provided by OluKai's Hawaii Ambassador, Matthew Murasko. The couple will also receive complimentary pairs of OluKai Premium Footwear of their choice.

From thousands of entries only 1 could win!
This year's winner was randomly chosen by last year's winning territory representative.

The Passage to Maui promotion ran throughout the month of May in over 550 participating OluKai retailers. Customers were given the chance to enter to win a grand prize trip to the island of Maui, Hawaii. 16,850 entries were received, with the winner chosen by random drawing on June 23, 2011.

Inaugural Father’s Day 4K and 1 Mile Stand Up Paddle Rez Race Draws a Crowd to the Boulder Reservoir

This past Father’s Day, OluKai teamed up with Boulder Running Company for their inaugural Father’s Day 4K and 1 mile Stand Up Paddle (SUP) race. The event drew some of the top runners and paddlers in the area.

The 4K run was an all-out race to the finish with 1st place going to Aaron Carrizales and 2nd place to David Roche. The two runners finished within a second of one another. Laurie Walker was the fastest woman. And our own Jason Freise took the first place honors for the SUP race!

It was a great, family-focused event with Father/Son and Father/Daughter divisions in the run. Participants and their families were treated to a Father’s Day Hawaiian BBQ dinner, as well as a sampling of traditional Hawaiian music and dancing.

100% of the proceeds from the 4K/SUP race went to directly benefit Orphans of AIDS Foundation and the City of Boulder Parks and Recreation EXPAND program.

A big mahalo to Boulder Running Company for putting on a fantastic event!
