Kauai Coffee has been a supporter of the Kauai Marathon since year one. Not only have they caffeinated our participants at the expo, start line and finish line, but they have also generously supported the Kauai Marathon Youth Running Program. When you think of a great event partner you think of companies like Kauai Coffee. In honor of our 10th Anniversary we had to ask the “ladies of Kauai Coffee” 10 questions.
