The Ironman World Championship is a celebration of human accomplishment and the competitive spirit. It’s also a time for road closures, gridlock, and — without the proper measure of aloha — driver frustration. Drivers should plan ahead, allowing extra time to get to their destination — and the akamai generally do. Many West Hawaii residents who aren’t spectators of the championship lay low for the day, allowing the swirl of activity to pass by. Those who need or want to be in town on race day are urged to keep a sharp eye out for pedestrians and go with the flow. Spectators and support staff for the racers may be very engaged in the race and paying less attention to cars. “Be wary of people stepping off of curbs, especially along Kuakini Highway and Alii Drive,” said Hawaii Police Capt. Chad Basque. “If you need to get somewhere in the area, plan accordingly.”
