And we're off at 5:30am
Have to run Hawaii marathons early to get a head start on the heat
Sunrise
lst aid station
Open stretches at the start, no cover along the highway
No tropical jungle on this marathon, for that, sign up for the Hilo Marathon on the Big Island
Reminds me of the Southwest of mainland USA
Another aid station
It's dry on this side of Maui at this time of year - September
Major turn here on course towards the ocean and eventually Lahaina
Long stretches of dry brush with ocean in distance
8 mile mark
Then you reach the ocean!
