Big Island Running Company hosted an aid station at the 5k point, so we got to see everyone in the race at least once and some three times. Those doing the 10k turned around at our aid station and headed back to the finish. The 20k'ers continued on to another aid station further down Alii Drive at the 10k point before turning around and running back past us to the Old Airport finish. The 30k participants ran out to the 10k point, ran back to our aid station at now-15k before turning around and running back to the 10k turnaround and back in to the finish.Since we were busy with the aid station, it was hard to get too many photos. I did manage to get one shot of Jason after he turned around at 15k and one of Ellis Andrews on his way back to the finish (below). However, the Queen K Tri Club has some great shots on their website here. Special thanks to Michelle Whitford and Megan Livingston for helping with the aid station! They came out and spent their Sunday morning in the hot sun helping me pass out water and HEED to the runners. And it was a pretty hot morning, so the runners definitely needed all the hydration they could get.
Queen K Tri Club has also posted the results of the runs here. Lots of the familiar names from the local running scene were out there, including Bree Wee who is preparing for Ironman Cozumel and several others prepping for the Honolulu Marathon. Congratulations to all the runners!Don't forget to sign up this week for the Miracle Mile on Saturday! A 1-mile run down Alii Drive in front of the Kona Coffee Parade, starting at 9:15. It's $10 to register through Friday and $15 on Saturday morning. We hope to see you out there!
