Surf and Turf 5K 2007
By Louis Tomsic The Surf and Turf 5K was March 24, 2007 at 7A. The weather was beautiful and sunny. The race starts at the Officers Club at Kaneohe Marine Core (KMC) Base. The first half mile is all down hill until a left turn on to the golf course. For three quarters of a mile, runners run a course on the grass with many runs and a few rolling hills until the race course goes on the beach. For the next half mile, it is a challenge not to run too close to the water where you may soak your running shoes and running on firm ground. For those that do not run on the waterline of the ocean, shoes sink into the sand about one foot. The last three quarters of a mile runns along the golf course till the right hand turn and 400 meters back up a 30 degree hill to the finish line. This years race was great because the run on the beach had the sand more compact then in previous years. This race is a gem to do because of the uniqueness of the race course. It is a challenge and it is fun. It is one of the best races to run at KMC Base. After the race, bananas, oranges, PowerAid, and water
were avaliable. Awards were given out in 10 year age divisions. I had
alot of fun and will be back to run next year. Last Updated: March 24, 2007 |
