2009/2010 Kauai Marathon (organized by Jeff Sacchini)

 

2003 Kauai Marathon (organized by Walter Bono) 

Athletes participated in the 2003 Kauai Marathon organized by runner Walter Bono. The Kauai Marathon was a new event in 2003, completely separate from the Garden Island Marathon of the 1980's. The beautiful off-road route of the 2003 Kauai Marathon began at the Koloa Fire Station, continued across red dirt cane haul roads, and turned around at the visitor's center of the Kauai Coffee Company. The half marathon route had one steep uphill and one steep downhill segment and full marathon runners had two steep uphill climbs. The event t-shirts were made by Red Dirt Shirts that quickly became a collectors item. Leo McCarthy of Kauai finished first in the men's race and Janet Snyder finished first in the women's race.  The 2003 Kauai Marathon awards ceremony was held at the Alexander Ballwin - Kauai Coffee Plantation. 

 Sponsors included :

 Hyatt Regency Resort , Alexander & Baldwin, Grove Farm, Kauai Coffee, Red Dirt, Hawaii Water, and Remax Kauai

Does anybody have any photos, results, or information to share about the Kauai Marathon organized by runner Larry King that took place in the 1980's? How many years did that event take place?
