Run to the Sun in Maui
Hakeakala Crater Photo uploaded by Yogi
Though tomorrow’s Run to the Sun event is closed to runners, there’s still time to check it out at a spectator. This grueling 36-mile marathon takes long-distance runners up the switchback of Haleakala Crater to its 10,000-foot summit. Running 36 miles isn’t exactly my idea of a vacation, so I think I’ll sit this one out, but I’m sure the views will be stunning (see photo above).

Does Kristi D Kapahulehua still run this event?
Happy Birthday Kristi!
Aloha, Lance
The pictures are very cool of Haleakala. I been wanting to do this run for awhile. It will be my first ultra. I checked out the website but registration has not open yet. Does anybody know what the entry fee is and how fast does it get full?
Now this is definitely a way I’d want to relax on Maui. Get up around 2:30 am to get ready for a 36-mile ultramarathon race which starts at 4:30 am and ascends Haleakala, the dormant volcano that dominates East Maui.
