Queen K Tri Club Half Marathon

Every couple of months, the Queen Ka'ahumanu Tri Club hosts free, low-key training runs to help people train for upcoming races without having to carry their own water or supplies.  Aid stations are generally every 2 miles or so, and the runs can help simulate a little bit of a racing atmosphere.  Some people go all out on these runs, some use them for some tempo miles and others cruise them as part of their long runs. 

Yesterday was the third annual half marathon starting from Old Airport, going south on Alii Drive to Keauhou and back.  The event drew people who are training for Ironman 70.3 Hawaii in two weeks and also people training for the Kona Marathon races on June 24.  34 people completed the 13.1 mile distance, while several others completed shorter distances. 

Even though this isn't a true "race", they do keep track of the results.  Results from yesterday's run are on Queen K Tri Club's website.  They also plan on posting more photos in the next couple of days and those should be available here. 

This weekend is a rare one without any races! In the meantime, join us from 5-7 p.m. tomorrow, Tuesday, May 22 for Guy's Night.  We'll have free gifts, prize contests, discounts and a group run at 6 p.m.  Also, make plans to come by the store this weekend as we'll be having a Memorial Day Shoe Blowout! We'll be offering many of our old models at drastically reduced prices, starting at $30!  The sale will run Friday, May 25, Saturday, May 26, and Monday, May 28.  Don't miss out!
