Running the Hana Relay



The famous Hana Relay was a 52 mile run traversing 617 curves and crossing 56 bridges through breathtaking sceneries of Maui, Hawaii. The course begins in Kahului airport and ends in Hana Ball Park in Maui. There were 6 persons per team with each team member running 3 legs (approximately 2-3 miles per leg). Liza, my sister joined this event and has successfully accomplished the race. All members of the team were able to finish the entire race.

My sister Liza settled in Maui after her marriage with Brad. One of the best tourist destinations in the world, it would really be enticing to run and experience the excitement of joining this kind of race. Liza was the first one who got into running. She inspired me after I have read in her blog, liza’s eyeview, her several postings regarding charity fun runs which she joined.

The Hana Relay was again another accomplishment she had in running (more photos from her other blog (a maui’s blog).
