Aloha Athletes ! Last Saturday’s training at Peacock Flats was a blast ! Several old, familiar faces showed up to the surprise of a large group of regulars. Peacock Flats is fast becoming a popular training ground, especially for runners heading for races on the mainland. We will be returning there soon. With several of…
Special thanks for all of you who helped. I think Marian picked her up in Waikiki. Training with H.U.R.T. runners up at Peacock was definitely a good experience for her. Bob, Please tell all the runners that it was a pleasure to meet them and a highlight of my trip to run with them. I…
aloha HURT’ers, Last week, my wife Lesley and I spent five days grinding out a 45 mile roundtrip hike up and down Mauna Loa. This was the first time for both of us up the trail, and it was definitely tougher than we thought it would be. Highlights included staying at wonderful cabins for each…
Aloha again, In addition to Peacock Flats this Saturday, for those of you with less time on your hands or don’t like driving to Maui (just a joke), Marian will be doing Tantalus Repeats- 4 or 5 loops (up trail, down road) 7.3 miles each, 1 3/4 hours each). I’m not sure what time she…
Aloha Athletes ! A very large group showed-up for Peacock Flats last Saturday, including several strong, tough, fast wahine. Several good male runners ran hard but still got "chicked" for their efforts. It was a beautiful day…so beautiful that we will be returning to Peacock Flats this Saturday. Same starting time: 6:30 am. Same location:…

EDIT: I changed this posting a bit. Big thanks to Marsha Sarver for giving me some info on the route! Around September or October, I’m going to do a run from my house in Wailuku town. It starts along Kahekili highway, just above Takamiya market. The course is all paved road – maybe some unpaved…
There’s likely not one ultrarunner in Hawaii that doesn’t know my good buddy Cheryl Loomis. Well, last night I received my March 2008 issue of "Ultrarunning" and was excitedly scouring the section "Ultrarunning’s 2007 Ultra Lists" when I came across the category "Oldest 100 Mile Finishers-Women". This gave a list of 11 women’s names, their…
I’ve uploaded some photos from this past Saturday’s race. These were taken by either Cheryl or Barbi so you will see some similar shots or photos that feature primarily team Fun, Fun, Fun or Darin and Bob. If you have photos you would like put up here, contact me. The best way is for me…
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.
