Iroquois Point 5k 2007 Review
By Louis Tomsic The second annual Iroquois Point 5k run was held June 16, 2007. The event participation from the previous year doubled because of the excellent work done by race director Steve Foster. The event had nearly 500 participants this year. It is one of the few running event held near Ewa. The race start was held up by nearly 15 minutes because of the popularity of this event this year. The 5K is held in honor of military veterans. It raises moneys so that no US veteran is ever homeless. The race course is flat and fast. The course makes many turns around the streets and small lakes in Iroquois Point before arriving back at the beach park finish. Parking is adequete but the later a runner arrives, the further away they have to park from the start line. The lead vehicle was a bike driven by Steve Foster so that the lead runner could not be lost among the many turns on the course. Race refreshments were outstanding! This is one of the few races on Oahu that offers watermellon and cantelope after the race along with bananas. Awards were given in 5 year age divisions and top 3 winners recieved flower leis. Great music was provided by Kaala Boys which made everyone get up dance. There were many boths to explore which offered various services and an Army Helecopter to get up and sit in. I ate alot of watermellon and throuroughly enjoyed myself at a wonderful run that I will be sure to do again next year. I did hear that the event next year will be held on Memorial day. The beach park is an excellent place to hold a picnic after the race. I went down to a local store afterward getting a french loaf and some cheese and enjoyed the rest of the day at the beach.
