KAILUA-KONA — Pea-ticipants small and tall, young and old lined up at Kailua Bay at 8:08 a.m. sharp on Sunday morning for the appropriately named Peamania swim-run, swim-run race.

Peamania featured a ¼-mile swim and 2-mile clockwise run, followed by another ¼-mile swim, 2-mile counter clockwise run/walk.

The weekend’s race marked Frozen Pea Production’s 392nd free, community-driven event.

The Doc Ferren Hall of Fame Biathlon (.5-mile swim, 3.9-mile run) on Dec. 30 closes out the year for the series.
