Maui No Ka Oi Maui Marathon

The closest I get to running in a marathon is to watch up close. I also take advantage of the free muffins, Jamba Juice, Starbucks and fruit. Maui had a very successful Marathon including the 5K, Half-Marathon and Marathon. People fly in from Japan, Jamaica, Germany, Africa and more. Men's winner for 3rd time was Jacob Rotich in a slow time of 2:33:44. Runners say add 10 minuutes for the weather in Maui. Plus the course is a real grind starting in Kahului and ends at Whalers Village in Kaanapali Beach. They run next to over 17 miles of the beach! Nice time to be in Maui!
