The Trek the Trail health and safety event will take place this Saturday, May 10 from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Afook-Chinen Civic Auditorium in Hilo.

The free community event, which features a trail walk through Wailoa State Park,  is held to raise awareness of local trails that connect to recreational facilities and historic sites while providing a safe and enjoyable space for exercise.

Registration begins at 9 a.m. with the walk to follow. Afterwards, there will be a bike safety course at the Civic Auditorium, live entertainment, food trucks, a car and truck show, informational vendors, and giveaways.

Participants who complete the walk will be eligible to enter a drawing to win special prizes.

Trek the Trail is held by the County in partnership with Hilo Bayfront Trails, Hilo Bike Hub, Dustin Acdal Photography, Safe Routes to School, and Top Notch.
