Maui Tacos 5K 2007

Review by Louis Tomsic
The Maui Tacos 5K race was held at 8A on September 15, 2007. It was an overcast day and the humidity was higher than normal. Over 200 runners competed in this years event which covered a new race course.
The new race course started in the same direction as the old course but instead of turning right on the highway, made a turn around heading back and past the race start. After passing the race start, a right hand turn up a 400 meter hill was taken. The road was followed until another turn around was made half mile by a gaurd shack following the course back down the 400 meter hill turning right at the bottom. The course went about half a mile down the road up a slight 100 meter hill till another turn around finishing down the road back to the finish. The race course is perfect for taking pictures because the runners pass near the finish 3 times.
Awards were given to the top five overall. Race refreshments included bananas and oranges. Some lucky winners were given $5 off to eat at Maui Tacos.
