Four Lahaina schools raced for the title of ‘Fastest School in Lahaina’ this year: Lahainaluna High School, Lahaina Intermediate School, Princess Nahiʻenaʻena Elementary School and King Kamehameha III Elementary School.

The times of the top 5 runners from each school were averaged to determine the title designation.

All four schools who competed in the 5K trail run were sponsored by their partner T S Restaurants. The team will be presented with the perpetual XTERRA Teacher’s Race Trophy.
