Congratulations and thank you to all involved in the event. Peacock Challenge was the last of the 10 races in the series, ending what has been eight months of trail fun.

Mahalo to everyone who participated and volunteered at the 30th annual Tantalus Triple Trek. The day started off with some showers that gave way to strong heat in the afternoon.
