  We study the deformed kinematics of point particles in the Horava theory of
gravity. This is achieved by considering particles as the optical limit of
fields with a generalized Klein-Gordon action. We derive the deformed geodesic
equation and study in detail the cases of flat and spherically symmetric
(Schwarzschild-like) spacetimes. As the theory is not invariant under local
Lorenz transformations, deviations from standard kinematics become evident even
for flat manifolds, supporting superluminal as well as massive luminal
particles. These deviations from standard behavior could be used for
experimental tests of this modified theory of gravity.
