Aloha Runners,

A Word from the VIRR President
 
cheryl_1

Aloha and Thank You to those who helped make the 37Th Annual Maui Marathon, 4Th Maui Half Marathon and Maui Tacos 5K a success.

I personally am pleased with the outcome of this year's event, under the direction of race director Bill Burke, and his team, co- race director Steve Foster, and the return of Rudy Huber, the aid station coordinator.

It may seem like an easy thing to do, I'm glad that most people do not see the behind the scenes action going on. It takes a lot of planning, lots of emails and cooperation from each other to get the job done.

This year was especially challenging with the VIRR board of directors getting hands-on experience to help produce such a big event.

The Maui Marathon has grown tremendously over the past 12 years. With that growth means there are more details to go over, and over and over again.

We could not have done it without the hard work of the volunteers and non-profit beneficiaries.
Mahalo
Cheryl Bouillon
VIRR President
