Arrived minutes before the start and the ladies at the registration table were great - got our bibs and shirts quickly! The course wasn’t as much on the water as I’d hoped, but was fun and full of families and some serious runners. The water station after could have had one or two more stations but I’m also pregnant so take that into account. My husband and I finished and it was our first family race and could not have been a better option for us. Hope to see some action photos since he isn’t a frequent runner and want to convince him to participate in more races.
If the event encourages walkers to help provide funds for the race, then stage a walkers-only 5km race ... don't make them compete with runners. Not many volunteers are needed along the route to monitor participants as shown in Hanalei Canoe Club's 8 mile annual race. Also, there should be a 70's bracket and an 80+ bracket ... we kupuna in our 80's are as competitive as anyone else, but shouldn't be expected to compete head-to-head with runners. But mahalo for staging this overall event!
Love it! You guys are awesome and breakfast is delicious! Sometimes I wanted to know which Mile I was at and I couldn’t tell because the course wasn’t marked.
Views are beautiful and the volunteers are very nice and supportive
