Aloha Athletes !
It’s back to business as usual with a HURT loop this Saturday. If your name is on the roster for the upcoming HURT 100 race, you may even want to do a second HURT loop. Let’s meet at the usual Manoa location at the end of Manoa Rd. at 5:50 am to be ready for a 6:00 am start. Stash will be at the normal locations.
For those of you who will be doing the Honolulu Marathon this Sunday, we wish you a PR and a fun race. Don
HURT enjoys the privilege of partnerships with State and Federal agencies that hold the responsibility of protecting Oʻahu public lands. Those partnerships are based upon mutual trust and cooperation and shared concerns for the ʻaina. To keep that trust and continue to be provided the opportunity to host trail events, we (HURT) must understand and abide by rules that govern our partner agencies.
HURT does organize and facilitate official trail maintenance only when coordination with our partners has occurred. All trail work is performed under the supervision of a permitted individual with advance permissions. Some trails are off-limits for HURT to perform trail maintenance due to the sensitive flora. No HURT trail maintenance will occur outside of these parameters.
HURT and its partner agencies require that no self-directed trail maintenance occur on publicly-owned trails. Any individuals performing trail work outside of official HURT-organized events, are doing so on their own accord and will be held personally responsible by State and Federal agencies for any violations. Such activity could jeopardize our relationships with partner agencies and lead to inability to use public lands for our events.
