Well I just got back from an adventurous 4WD trip up to Peacock Flats. Thank god the 4WD on my SUV worked and I didn’t freeze up while driving. Anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know that Sean and I replenished both the stashes with 30 gallons of water. So Rob, unless you still…
Pictures Mad ramblings and disjointed thoughts: The winds are gusting out of the east, and I’m making my way along a fence line, holding onto it at almost every step dispite the fact that its sharp facets are tearing my hands to shreds. At my feet the mud sprites that inhabit the sides of the…
Aloha Athletes, Back by popular demand, Paradise to Nuuanu Repeats! If you are planning on doing the H.U.R.T. 100 this year, this is good training.

Aloha Runners, We had a record turn-out (41 I think?) for the Tantalus Triple Trek this past Saturday. Thanks to all the runners who came out and thanks to all the volunteers. Unfortunately I don’t have all the names but I know runners were very appreciative (I was) of the two aid stations at each…
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.
