Marathon lovers – this Sunday is your day to be in Poipu. The Kauai Marathon 2011 is starting at 6am and I am actually planning on being there. I have participated in a few other races before now, and I am terrible! But the idea is to work out and support a good cause, right?

This year, I will run/walk alongside the real athletes as we make our way around the island, visiting beaches and rainforest trails. And proceeds will go toward local charities who work hard to preserve the natural beauty of the island. It should be a great time.

For those who don’t like to run but who want to watch the event, you can come too. The Beer Garden will be set up and live music will be playing all day. There will also be hulas and other games.

So come to our island and run with us (or watch us with a beer in your hand). You can register now on the Kauai Marathon website and enjoy the tropical air of Kauai as it brushes your face on your way to victory.
