Honolulu Marathon Offers 8 Truck Loads of Race Supplies to Tsunami Victims

HONOLULU - Less than three weeks after their race, Honolulu Marathon 
officials pulled thousands of race supplies from storage closets to donate 
to Sri Lankan tsunami victims.

Officials spent much of Dec. 30 delivering eight truck loads of material to 
Oceanit, a local engineering firm that is shipping relief supplies to the 
tiny island nation.

Dr. Dayan Vithanage, the Sri Lankan native who is Oceanit's relief 
coordinator, said the Honolulu Marathon made possibly the largest donation 
he received.

Among the items donated by the Honolulu Marathon were 12,000 water cups, 
2,000 marathon volunteer shirts, 600 shirts left over from the Honolulu 
Marathon's Bryan Clay Clinic, 2,000 tee-shirt bags, 1,200 caps, 500 
55-gallon trash bags, 500 pairs of surgical gloves, 360 cans of soft 
drinks, 400 rolls of toilet paper, 288 bottles of water, 72 large bath 
towels, 48 full-sized bed sheets, 20 1-gallon water jugs and 20 large 
shipping boxes.

The Honolulu Marathon, which was America's third largest marathon of 2004 
behind New York City and Chicago, was held Dec. 12.
