Kaanapali Landing is a charming neighborhood located near the golf course. It is home to about 1,940 residents and is situated close to the community Kaʻanapali Plantation and the locality of Puukolii. It's a great spot if you're looking for a quick run away from the crowded areas.

The Lāhainā Pali Trail is a historic footpath that offers stunning views of the West Maui Mountains and the ocean. It is known for its rugged terrain and rocky gulches that you'll have to climb if you start from either end. If you're feeling ambitious, you can extend your run by following the trail further to the east, and it will take you all the way to Honoapiʻilani Highway. Once you reach the top, the trail levels out for a bit before starting the descent on either side. Along the way, you'll pass by the giant wind turbines that mark the middle of the trail.

This loop is a hidden gem - a tranquil pond nestled in the serene Village Trails. Conveniently located just across from several resorts, this secluded spot offers a peaceful jog anytime of the day. With no road access, you can expect fewer visitors and a chance to truly savor the stunning scenery.

If you're looking to add a short but excellent loop to your extended run or need to stretch your legs after spending the day visiting several sights in one day, then this trail is perfect for you. The trail is named after the beautiful Ohai plant that you will see along the path. The loop takes you along the stunning northern shore, several feet above the ocean. There is also a short path leading to an overlook with fantastic views up and down the rugged coastline.

The Kapalua Coastal Trail is a stunning pathway that offers breathtaking ocean views, with waves crashing into lava rocks, surrounded by lush greenery between two beautiful beaches. You can start your run at either end of the trail, make the round trip, and then spend the rest of the day at one of the two lovely shores. The path is an excellent choice for a peaceful jog or a vigorous run, with plenty of natural beauty to take in along the way.

This trail takes you through a beautiful forest with guava, swamp mahogany, kukui, and Cook Island pines. The path starts with a climb up a cement road, gaining around 200 feet before it becomes a dirt path that ascends through the forest. You'll come across a switchback corner with a bench that offers a view of a gulch and Makamaka'ole Falls. As you continue to ascend up switchbacks, you'll get fantastic views of the Waihe'e Valley.
