Maui training run around West Mountain

EDIT:  I changed this posting a bit.  Big thanks to Marsha Sarver for giving me some info on the route!

Around September or October, I’m going to do a run from my house in Wailuku town.  It starts along Kahekili highway, just above Takamiya market.  The course is all paved road – maybe some unpaved – and winds through Waihe`e town, then Kahakuloa, Honolua, Napili, Honokowai, Lahaina, Olowalu, Ma`alaea, Waikapu, then back into Wailuku town.  This around-the-mountain course is about 62 miles (thanks for the info, Marsha!).  If I go alone, I intend to use a jogging baby stroller, loading it with supplies and pushing it with me.  If anyone would like to join this fun run, please contact me and we can organize drop points… or more wild and wacky baby stroller action!

I’d like to do this run on a  Saturday morning, maybe starting at 6am.  If other people would like to run this in the opposite direction, I’m all for it!  Run on a Sunday, sure!  Different starting time, not a problem! Nothing is set in stone with this fun run, and I just wanted to post this to let everyone know it’s a happening thing.  Sometimes we all need a nudge from someone else to get going on a long run!
