Distance: 2, 5.4, 10.4, and 15 miles
Format: Trail run on the Pu'u lava fields of Mauna Loa. Trail is marked by ahu (rock piles). Turn around points marked by 7000, 8000, and 10000 foot elevation level markers respectively.
How to get there: Fly to the Big Island (Hawaii). Drive to the Volcanoes National Park, Mauna Loa Volcano. We'll meet at the parking lot and the end of Mauna Loa Road (Off Hwy 11)
Backgrounder: The Volcano Wilderness Runs (5, 10, 26.2) have been run for 25 years and were cancelled this year out of respect for the Kapuna who felt is was disrespectful to Madam Pele. We all decided to keep our plans to travel to the Big Island anyway and do our own run. Word spread and now we have a rather large contingent going over. This is on a different trail than the Wilderness Marathon so it is sure to be new to almost everyone.
Yes, it starts at 6:07 a.m.
