The running part of the Maui Marathon weekend kicks off with the Maui Tacos 5K. This is truly a fun, family run, where everyone from toddlers to grandparents can be a part of the weekend's events. You don't have to be fast to have fun! Just put on those running shoes and get out there.

The words of Mark Ellman, our sponsor, describe perfectly what the Maui Tacos 5K is all about. "The greatest part about sponsoring the Maui Tacos 5K is that you see your friends and all these people, off the couch and away from the TV. They are out running in the beautiful Maui climate. When we opened Maui Tacos we wanted it to be included in the beach culture, the active, outdoor culture. This race is great. I really enjoy it, especially when the little kids and older folks come up to collect awards. It's so special to see a four-year old do something that I've just done for the first time. This was the first time I have run in the race, I figured I'd better 'walk the talk', or rather 'run the talk'."

The Maui Tacos 5K is the perfect distance for a marathon warm-up or to test yourself if you are a beginner runner. Whatever your reason for entering, you can be sure of one thing, it will be a lot of fun.
