Maui Marathon – Sept 20th, Ka’anapali Parkway, Lahaina

If you aren’t one to laze away your vacation then sign up for the Maui Marathon. If 26.2 miles isn’t exactly your idea of a fun vacation activity, then take it down a notch by signing up for the half marathon, 10k or 5k. You can even sign your kids up for the Bubba Gumps Front Street Mile. Just remember, the more miles you run, the less guilty you have to feel about eating your heart out during your vacation! http://www.mauimarathonhawaii.com/
