Mango Days 5K
Review
Review by: Asti Tomsic
The 4th Annual Mango Days 5K was held on July 30, 2006 at 630A. The race was established by Neil Voje when he read a book about Patty Smith and her battle with cancer and love for mangos. Kit Smith, her father was present at the race selling his book about her life at the great breakfast at Compadres which followed the race. Race morning was sunny and warm. The course is one of the many run at Ala Moana Park. The race starts with a loop around Magic Island running around the park clockwise with a double back by the Diamond Head concesion stand finishing across the street from Compadres. This is a flat fast race course where setting a PR is possible. Eating at Compadres mexican reasturant as part of the entry fee makes this one of the best races to run on Oahu. Breakfast includes fruits, cofee, ice tea, refried beans, eggs, enchiladas, potatoes and cinnamon desserts. During the breafast, the unique hand-made pottery bowls were presented to the age division winners. Last Updated: July 30, 2006 |
