H2O Audio is proud to be a returning supporter of the UPR KONA 2023 event. What is the UPR you ask? 

IF IT’S THURSDAY IN KONA, IT’S THE UNDERPANTS RUN!

The UPR was conceived in 1998 by Chris Danahy, Tim Morris, and Paul Huddle as a protest against wearing Speedos in inappropriate places (stores, restaurants, etc.). It has since morphed into a pre-race ice breaker and local fund raiser that has become an integral part of the IRONMAN World Championship event week.

Over the years the Kona UPR has raised over $300,000 for local charities through registration and merchandise donations. The event welcomes all ages, all genders and all bodies as they celebrate the Aloha spirit that accompanies this incredible one-of-a-kind race week spectacle!

Not able to attend in person, race week, at Kona? No problem! IRONMAN Foundation has you covered with the *Virtual Kona UPR registration and social media contest!

Learn more about the UPR and IRONMAN Foundation. You can also register HERE for the virtual event.
