2011 Mana Road 10s

Start of the Mana 10s

This past weekend there were two great running events on the Big Island - the Big Island Road Runners Mana Road 10s (10k and 10-miler) and Peaman's Pedal Till Ya Puke, Run Till Ya Ralph. Unfortunately, they were on the same day, so we were only able to go to one. Although we love both events, we chose the one that we could literally walk to - Peaman's Kaloko hill climbs.

Although we couldn't make it to the Mana Road race, we received the following pictures and results from the Big Island Road Runners about their race. Additional pictures can be found here. Mana Road is a scenic run through ranchland in Waimea. The weather is hit or miss - for last year's race it was chilly, windy and spitting rain; when Jason and I ran it a week ago, it was cool, clear and gorgeous. The runners this year were treated to some of the less favorable conditions, with another chilly, rainy and windy day. Some might say this is perfect running weather!

The course takes you out on a rolling dirt road, with a general uphill. After the 10k turnaround, the real climbing begins - miles 3-5 of the 10-mile distance are pretty steep in sections. But that makes for a nice fast run on the way back!
In the 10-mile distance, Billy Barnett came in first in a time of 1:00:16, followed by Chris Gregory (1:06:16) and Chris Mosch (1:07:26). For the ladies, Rani Tanimoto ran away with it in a time of 1:11:21, Sally Marrack finished second in 1:23:31 and Melissa Schad was third in 1:25:41. Full results are below.
