Fun course - mostly road but enough trail and open course lava rock scrambling to keep things interesting.  I had a late start which is really not recommended - luckily it wasn't too hot and I even got some cloud cover in parts which helped.  I timed the run so that afterwards the family could take a trip to the crater rim and watch the lava, which was a blast.  Note I finished in the same spot as Warren - near the start of Mauna Loa Rd.  After that I jogged over near the actual Kilauea summit, and it seems like that is now mostly open again.  Future runners should try to investigate ahead of time the closure conditions and feel free to just go to the summit if it's open.
