26th Pauper's Marathon & Relay

2007 Results

Congratulations Jon, Alex, Christi, John, Valerie, Julianne and Doug!

Also to the teams!

I vaguely remember that unexpectedly pleasing combination of emotional high and acute muscle soreness felt the day after running a 26.2-mile Marathon. Enjoy it! You earned it! If you find yourself grinning as you hobble the stairs, don't worry; that is completely normal.

Between Kwaj and Honolulu, SEVEN Kwaj runners covered the full 26.2 miles! That is the highest count since the early 1980s. All starters finished.

A big thank you to AnnElise Peterson for arriving at 2:30am and doing the loop timing for the next 8+ hours following the 3:00am start by some of the individual Marathoners. Also to Al Robinson who came to cheer and hand out water at 3:30am.

Thanks to Judy Kirchner for initiating the Pauper's Marathon Finisher Custom T-Shirt manufacture. And thanks to Cris Lindborg for providing the original T-Shirt art.

It was a great time watching you all run!
