Four Seasons Resort Hualālai, the only AAA Five Diamond and Forbes Five Star Resort on Hawaii Island, is hosting the 26th Anniversary Run for Hope with all proceeds to benefit cancer research.  Four Seasons hotels and resorts have been committed to fighting this cause since the original Terry Fox Run held in 1980, and Hualalai continues this tradition for the community of Hawaii.
