My goal for this whole year has been smashed or shall I say burned to a crisp with the Angeles National Forest on fire.I am deeply saddened, there have been fire fighters who have died trying to contain it. A little good news and something a little more with running involved. My friend Tom and…

Since we're on the subject of stashes… The main Peacock Stash is down to 2-3 gallons. I understand we might have some more at the stash by the trailer (start of the single track), but I can't verify that. The jeep road is pretty accessible right now, due to all the bulldozer work, but it's…
Just to let everybody know that the Nuuanu Stash is no more. I don't know whether it was a) removed for routine system maintenance b) vandalized c) confiscated by the authorities At any rate, it's gone (as opposed to "empty"). Plan accordingly for your HURT100 training! Aloha, Harald
Following on Bob M's post, the UTMB thing is a lot of fun. I did the CCC variant, which runs from Courmayeur in Italy, via Champex in Switzerland to Chamonix in France. The part in the day runs takes you along the southern edge of val Ferret with amazing views north across the valley of…
As you may know the Mont Blanc Ultra's start Friday. What I didn't know about these races is that there are actually 4 races going on. You can learn about these races here. The distances for these four races run from 98K up to 220K. The most well known of these races at least by…
With everything going on it is easy to forget about a great opportunity we have right here on Oahu in early December. On Sunday, December 6th we can all participate in a world class event in one of the most beautiful places on Oahu. Kualoa Ranch will again be host to the XTERRA Trail Running…
Aloha Athletes ! With this being the last Saturday to train for the upcoming Tantalus Triple Trek, which will be held the following Saturday on Sept. 5, you can follow the old-school of thought and taper-off this weekend, giving your body a chance to recouperate and mend or you can go full-bore, making this your…
Yesterday I took advantage of our state birthday celebration to go out and run some Trek loops in the morning. I have not been running much distance lately so running two Trek loops would be a good challenge for me to step up my distance a bit. I know some H.U.R.T. runners see the Triple…
Kara Goucher is the leading female marathoner in the U.S. right now, and will be trying to mix it up with the East Africans in Berlin at Sunday's IAAF World Championships. She talks about adopting a more East African style of training and racing that involves less tracking of miles and pacing and more "enjoyment of the…
Given the recent posts on GPS, this seems timely. Maybe we can draw pictures of pigs….although it'd be hard to run straight lines on the trails. 🙂 http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/20/fashion/20GPS.html If you are prompted for a username/password use hurtguest/hurtpass
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.
