HANALEI — Hanalei Canoe Club hosted the 39th annual Haena to Hanalei Run on Saturday.
Approximately 635 runners crossed the finish line Saturday nearby the Hanalei Pier. Afterwards, runners and supporters gathered at the Hanalei Canoe Club hale for a pancake breakfast.
“We got a lot of complements that it was well organized and that the pancakes were good,” said Mary Mair, Hanalei Canoe Club secretary and a race organizer. “Everything went fine, and a couple of the half marathoners said they really liked the course. We got a lot of positive feedback.”
She added: “We just appreciate people coming, supporting us and enjoying our event. I just thank them all for being part of it.”
The eight-mile run from Ke‘e Beach to the finish line in Hanalei had 250 participants.
Pierce Murphy of Kilauea was the top finisher in the eight-mile run with a time of 45 minutes, 14 seconds.
“It felt good. I haven’t been doing much training, so it was kind of a test to see my fitness,” Murphy said. “I started out strong. I felt fine. It got pretty tough, pretty hot. I never wore a watch. I didn’t want to see my pace or anything. I just went off feel.”
Murphy, 25, added prior to the race that he believed he would finish around 45 minutes.
“That was how I thought I felt,” he said. “I thought I could do that. Yeah.”
Nic Clark of Kalaheo finished second with a time of 49 minutes, 14 seconds. Alex Dutcher of Koloa was third overall with 53 minutes, 32 seconds.
