OMAO — The sixth annual Boys Day Hare & Hound and Poker Run races, hosted by the Garden Island Motorcycle Club, took place Sunday in Omao.
At least 200 riders took their dirt bikes and challenged the mountain trails.
The hare and hound races, in which riders collect checkpoints along the course and the first to turn in with all the checks wins, had a Class A for expert riders and a Class B for intermediates.
Chris Satterfield placed first in the A Class 39-and-under division. Casey Satterfield was second and Travis Talbo was third. In the A Class 40+ division, Kealoha Estrella was first, Peter Ricciardi was second and Kevin Norton was third.
In the B Class 39-and-under division, Chris Bonilla was first, Bronson Fune was second and Braden Pagador was third. In the B Class 40+ division, Cain Robinson was first, Eric Goo was second and Romeo Dawa was third.
In the poker runs, racers collect cards instead of checks and whoever gets the best hand wins. There was a Class C for novice riders and a Class D for beginners and quad riders.
Aaron Carvalho placed first in the C Class followed by Shane Peralta and Rocco April. In the D Class, Angel Cardenas Jr. placed first followed by Patty Lingaton and Mary Cardenas.
