Aloha, This is Robert P Smith and I’ve been following the HURT site for several months now and finally got out and ran the Pali lookout run with some of the supporters of the event, Jan M, etc. I’ve hiked a portion of the course, from the Nature Center out to Paradise Point and back…
Aloha Athletes ! This Saturday will be a repeat of last Saturday…meet at 7:00 am at the Pumping Station at the corner of Makiki St. and Makiki Heights Drive…do roughly a 9 to 10 mile loop through Manoa, followed by a 10 mile round trip up Tantalus Rd. to the top of Concretes/return. A few people…
Aloha Athletes ! With Bram's March 6, 2010 date for the unofficial "fun" Run to the Sun fast approaching, serious chatter on the subject was heard last Saturday on Tantalus. Since it's not a race or not even anything resembling a organized run, anyone showing up at 4:30 am at the parking lot behind the…
From Na Ala Hele The Oahu Na Ala Hele Trails and Access program recently established tool and recycled plastic material stashes along the Wilwilinui, Hawaii loa and Kuliouou ridge trails. The reason for the stashes is to eventually allow volunteers the ability to install mountain steps on their own time without supervision. Over time the…
For those who missed it, you can click here and see all the fun running times you missed during the the SweetHeart's run. Neal and Marian know how to throw a party!
Some familiar faces wearing the bright pink Kelli's Krew shirts participated in the Swamp Romp. Over 400 teams participated (a race record) in the fun run through the mud and muck on the Marine base. They even got some air time on the 5:00 p.m. KHNL/KGMB news. This is still one of my favorite races…
Hi Everyone, Cheryl suggested (and Cheryl is always right) that I mention that there will be a beachside memorial service for Heather's Mom (also my 2nd Mom) this Sunday morning, in Kailua, at the canal crossing next to Buzz's Steak House area. Mom's ashes will be taken by canoe around 9:00 am to be spread…
Aloha Athletes ! With Marian's wonderful "Sweetheart 50" still on everyone's minds an taste buds, and Swamp Romp vying for attention this Saturday, before we forget, the Haleakala Run to the Sun "Fun Run" is fast-approaching on March 6, 2010. In light of that, a couple of weeks of Haleakala training might not be a…
WOW is all that I can say. Nineteen HURT runners started on a journey that would take them in a large 50-mile loop on a beautiful night under a star-filled sky. The photo shows the 15 tough and fun-loving runners who went the distance. Congratulations to Julie, Heather, Tom, Gary, Rob, Johnny, Ryan, Larry, Marian,…
Aloha Athletes, There are lots of opportunities to get out and run or bike with someone you love this weekend. For those thinking of heading to Maui and running up the mountain, there is a group meeting at the park with the water tank just below the Nature Center at 6:00 a.m. on Saturday for…
Read Carefully the Information Below. This could be a great opportunity if you fit the sizes and other specifications that they are looking for. My name is Nori Hubbs and I work for Ehman Productions on Maui. We are producing the upcoming Asics Shoe catalogue here on Maui and are looking for runners to use…
My apologies to Jimson. When I saw him, he was up on Nuuanu trail on Saturday, before you get to the grassy knoll on the way up to the bench. He sent me a link to his photos and I was just in recover and clean up mode right after race. In any case, I…
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.
