The Kauai Marathon 2009 September 9, 2009
Posted by Sarah in : Updates , trackbackOn Sunday, September 6th, more than 1,700 runners participated in the Inaugural Kauai Marathon on the South Shore of the island of Kauai. With the perfect back drop of the ocean and palm trees of Poipu, the runners were able to choose between doing the half marathon at 13.1 miles or the full enchilada at 26.2 miles.
This being my first marathon, I decided to do the half marathon. Already being a runner, I trained for this event (thanks to Lois Lutz, my trainer) and felt great during the run all the way through to the finish! My friend and associate, Ruth Marvin, also decided to do her first half marathon and we ran it together. Ruth, who didn’t even train for this marathon did great and finished a little before me…that brat! Lois Lutz, our office accountant, ran her first full marathon and did fantastic! Debi Rickert, our front desk goddess, and my personal friend and ghost writer volunteered and was at aid station #10 that was located just before the 10 mile mark.
Debi and a crazy group of volunteers at aid station 10 handed out water and other essentials while cheering all of us runners with enthusiastic smiles and lots of energy which spurred us on.
This event, which drew Kama’aina and Tourists from around the globe, was a major success and will hopefully become an annual event for the island of Kauai. Congratulations to all of the participants and a big Mahalo to all of the volunteers!!!
