Great (warm) weather and good trail conditions yielded a fun, fast, challenging, and successful race along the Maunawili Demonstration trail. Mahalo to all runners that came out to enjoy the Run with the Pigs! Also up next is Tantalus Triple Trek, Rainforest Ramble, and Peacock Challenge. Read on for more.
It’s been a busy few months, and the HURT Trail Series is in full swing! We’ve got just three
more events left in the 2025 calendar year: Maunawili Out and Back, Tantalus Triple Trek,
and the Peacock Challenge.
As race directors, we couldn’t be prouder of the 124 runners who toed the line and the 122 finishers who persevered through to the end. From morning check-in through to the finish line, we saw nonstop grit, smiles, and high fives. Congratulations to the participants! Read on for results, photos, and more…
A barefoot finisher, a bride & groom in full attire, a pizza truck, and edible medals. This made for one epic race! Thanks to everyone for taking on the unknown, undisclosed course that is Mango Madness! We are also looking for volunteers for the upcoming Kaʻena Point Firecracker. Read on for more…
The Kealia Quad Crusher was a huge success! Congrats to everyone who conquered the challenging 12-mile trail run with its 4,000 feet of elevation gain. Finishing this tough two-lap course, especially with this year’s heat on the second climb, is a significant accomplishment.
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.
