2026 Vi’s Top of Tantalus Thank You

ByHURT Hawaii

We hope all of the 119 runners enjoyed the beautiful trails of Vi’s Top of Tantalus on a bright sunny morning.  Thank you for celebrating Vi Medusky-Jones during  the first held race of the 2026 HURT Trail series.  Vi would have been so proud of you all charging up the Rabbit Hole to the finish. We were pleased to have had  international runners and a racer who experienced his first ever running event. We really appreciated the cooperation of the runners who were very understanding of the unconventional bib pick up as the park gate opened later than usual.

The support of the many wonderful (official and unofficial) volunteers made the event possible. Thank you for the multitude of support you provided from trail marking, parking direction, course marshaling, course sweeping, start/finish setup, to post-race cleanup.

Special congratulations to the top finishers

L-R: Grant Overton (2nd), Aaron Bennett (1st) and Jonathan Li (3rd)
L-R: Shawna Kollai (3rd), Hee Joo Jang (1st) and Mareth Saville  (2nd)
