The 32nd Annual Mid-Pacific Road Runners Club (MPRRC) 134 mile Oahu "Perimeter Run " is a documentary that takes place in 2003. It is the story about the competion between the underdog team 5 and the current record holders and undefeated Mushroom Track Club as they battle to break the course record.

Team 5 was going to be called Hawaii Pacific University 3 days before the race until one of their members was put on medical hold. A mad scramble to find a seventh runner ensues along with motivation to field a team that will be competitive.

During the race, the teams must overcome the darkness on the North Shore, rain, wet trails around Keana Point, day-of-race change of course route, uncooperative MP's at Nimitz gate, leaving team members behind, and constant competion.

The Mushroom Track Club team captain is the well known, outstanding athelete Jonathan Lyau who has recruited another unbeatable team. Co-captain, editor of Athletes HI sports magazine, and former four-year # 1 runner from Hawaii Pacific University, Cristian Friis heads up this teams all star lineup. The other standouts on the team include Matt Stevens ( four-year state cross-country and track star), Peter Hursty (# 1 ranked Hawaii triathelete), Clint Iizuka-Sheeley (# 1 local Honolulu marathon finisher and top ultramarathon runner in Hawaii), Pete Boksanski (top marathon runner and best trail runner in the state) and Siul Michael (former four-year top runner at Hawaii Pacific University and road-racing champion).

Can the team 5 match the strength of the Mushroom Track Club? It will be a battle down to the finish line at Kapolani Park!
