Ultra Running The Kalalau Trail

About a year ago I had the pleasure of of hiking – no running :( – for a couple of days the beautiful Kalalau trail on the island of Kauai in the Hawaiian Islands. It’s an exceptional piece of the island but also exceptionally hard on your legs. It’s a single muddy track going up and down for more than 8 hours – if you’re hiking it in it’s entirely length – following the ridges of Napali Coast. Ultrarunning.com has dedicated three different articles on the ultrarunning scene in Hawaii and its third chapter to the Kalalua trail. The other two articles are “A History” and “In a World of H.U.R.T.”
