On Sunday November 8, 2009, members of the HTIC Running Club ran the Saucony Val Nolasco 1/2 Marathon. HTIC Running Club members Masato Ariga (President) and Kento Takebayashi, as well as HTIC Running Club advisors, Seleena Harkness and Rosalie Paradise, ran 13.1 miles from Kapiolani Park to Hawaii Kai and back.

Masato Ariga won a gold medal and prize for his 1st place finish in the men's category (ages 20 - 25) with a finishing time of 1:33:07. Kento Takebayashi placed 4th in the men's category (ages 15 - 19) with a finishing time of 1:55:23, and HTIC instructor Seleena Harkness won a bronze medal for her finish in the women's category (ages 25 - 29) with a finishing time of 1:41:46. Congratulations to all!

The top finishers' times were published in the sports sections of the Honolulu Advertiser and the Star-Bulletin on Monday, Nov. 9th.

Masato, Kento, and a small group of HTIC Running Club members will next run the Honolulu Marathon on December 13th. We invite the entire HTIC Learning Community to go out and cheer them on!
