Kailua Running Co. -- NEW!

Acknowledging Ironman competitor Rob Seaver

When you visit the store in the morning, you're bound to see Rob Seaver on the floor. Rob is our morning "go to" guy. He is a great store of knowledge on all things running and tri and can help any new triathlete ready himself or herself for a sprint tri or competitive distance tri. You'll see Rob training year-round in town and at the pool when he is not on the floor for us! Rob just completed the Silverman, a full Ironman course in Las Vegas. He smoked out of the water! (He was first in his division.) Rob finished 4th overall in his division, way to go Rob!

Sunday Run, November 8, 6:00 a.m.

We have choices on Sunday, involving a 9 mile run or a 13 mile run.

We'll dance through beautiful Lanikai and then head up to Norfolk by way of Keolu Circle. Then we'll peel through the marsh and work our way back to the store. You'll get a good half-marathon in if you need it (e.g. if you are training for Honolulu) and if you want to do less and still have a glorious run in Kailua Town, you'll get it too!

We'll have coffee/breakfast at Kalapawai Cafe afterwards!

Sunday 13 miler with 9 mile option

For those not going into town for the Nike 30K run, we'll be doing just over 18 here, through Maunawili, Norfolk and Enchanted Lakes/Kailua.

You may do 9, 13 or 18 (and variations within, we'll discuss before departing).

Bring water and nutrition and we'll speak to water stops available when we review the map.

It should be a beautiful run! Call the store with questions, 262-3278!

Sunday 18 Miler with Options

Car pool interest for Komen Race for the cure event on Sunday, 10/18

Some of our customers have inquired about a car pool to the Komen Race for the Cure tomorrow.

The race starts at Kapiolani Park at 7:00 a.m.

We are doing a long Sunday run from the store at 6:00 a.m. and therefore not driving in to town, but we will be here at 6:00 a.m. and welcome any who want to park their cars and share rides.

Some participants are without cars and in need of a ride. If you are able to share a ride, contact the store at 262-3278 before closing (6 p.m.) or write a note here or on Facebook.

Mahalo!

Sunday Run - October 18, 6:00 a.m. start - 16 miler with options for 8, 10 and 13

We're going to step up the mileage this week for those readying for the Honolulu (or California International) marathons.

We will however, have options for mileage of 8, 10 or 13 if this is more suitable to you.

The trades are weak but the Kona air is cool; we'll hope for the best and enjoy a nice Kaneohe Bay run with some neighborhoods added. Those doing 16 will need to break away at the marsh return and head up to the highway and to get to 16. You'll finish downhill!

Here is a link to the map. We'll review the route and your options and water stops before we all leave.

Sunday 16 miler - with options for less

As always, feel free to call the store with questions, 262-3278. Feel free to bring a friend!

Sunday Run - October 11, 6:00 a.m. Choices of 6, 10, 14 and "diversions"

Sunday runners will leave from the store at 6:00 a.m. and have options to do as little as 6 and as much as 14+.

The route is pretty local since the Redpaths will not be at the store for support. (We're working on our golf game at Makaha Resort ......LOL on this because we will be laughing too each time we take out another sleeve of golf balls.)

There are public water stops at Kailua H.S., the skate park in Enchanted Lake, Kailua Beach Park, Kalama Beach Park, and Kaha park (end of marsh). For those wanting or needing to do more than 14, you might add on Mokapu Loop (this will add 4 miles) or add 2 miles by going up to Kalianeoole Hwy at the beginning of the run and down Keolu Road instead of cutting through the high school.

We'll write again before Sunday and have a Kailua Running Co or store friend as point person to discuss the route!

Store # 262-3278. Watch this site and Facebook for updates, mahalo!

Sunday Route options - up to 14 miles +
