Aloha Athletes ! Fun was had by all at last Saturday’s "Garden to Pali Lookout" multiple-loop training run, on a beautiful, warm day. The group was pleasantly surprised by the appearance of Vernon Char, who came out and brought water and goodies for 2 of the loops. What a great friend ! Thank you "The…
Aloha Athletes ! Hopefully you have recovered from a wonderful 4th of July Holiday and from the fantastic, (record-breaking turnout) race at the Kaena Point Firecracker 10 Miler last Saturday. Although I had to miss the event due to a mainland trip to Glacier Natonal Park, I was told that it was a blast !…
Aloha Athletes ! I’d like to thank Cheryl and the rest of the Saturday Training gang for scheduling last Saturday’s "Lanipo" run as a favor to me (it’s one of my very favorites). As it turned out, I had to extend my mainland business trip and was still unable to make the run. Bummer !…

Running a 100 Miler at 64 in Canada (long version) It was interesting to see the looks of pity that I received as I limped thru the door of the Toronto airport. "Poor crippled old man" was written all over their faces. Little did they know that this "poor crippled old man" had just completed…

Aloha Athletes ! Last Saturday’s HURT Trail Series race "Run With A View", was a blast, with 62 runners, many of which were the fastest I’ve seen at any HURT Trail Series race. "What a horse race !"

Aloha Athletes ! As happens rarely, you will be getting this Saturday off, so take advantage of it and have some fun. With so many of our regulars joining Cheryl for the Miwok 100k in the Bay area, we will not be having an organized Saturday Training run this week. All the best to Cheryl,…
Aloha Athletes ! You might know that when I have to miss a Saturday Training run that it will be one of the best…EVER ! A BIG mahalo goes to Gordon Lau for setting up this fun Kaahele/Waimano run, for clearing trail, for putting out the huge stash for all to enjoy and for almost…

This route is called the Kaahele/Waimano…
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.
