Due to a dearth of mangos the Mango Madness has been rescheduled to this Saturday, June 14, 2008. We have also changed the site of this event, and will now start at the Triangle Park, aka Water Tank Park at the junction of Makiki Heights Drive and Makiki Street. Please disregard our past directions to…
There has been some discussion of the trail modifications that are going to be installed at Tantalus side of the Manoa Cliffs trail, and, much later, over on Pauoa Flats—Boardwalks or bridges over some of the more muddy areas, so to speak. I can not say I was too excited about them when I first…
The SockGuy was nice to provide several socks that read CancerSucks for $5 a pair. I think all of you can think of a good reason to get mud on these. Although I really love them for many personal reasons, I have both pink and black in either S/M or L/XL available. If interested, please…

Here is a blurb on the upcoming Mango Madness Run which is a part of the Trail Series for 2008. Pete and I are really excited and hoping for some new PR’s and a fast and competitive race. So get ready for Madness! SEE YOU THERE. …
….Here M. Minch recounts the running adventure so named above, having taken place last Saturday and in the company of noted Ultra runners Ernest Tay and Fish. (Note: a few explitives remain in this highly edited version of reality. Somethings just can not be said any other way.) After the Run with a…
I just got back from a run out at Peacock Flats. By the time I got back to my truck I had with me an extra Succeed pouch and 4 Gu-type pouches which I found on the trails. I’m sure we’ve all had something fall out our packs once in a while, but I wanted…
Aloha, At the suggestion of a friend, I’ve tossed up a quick web page of some local trails runs. The trails are downloadable in Google Earth format, so you can zoom in and see the elevation and terrain changes. The aerial views are nice if you’ve wanted to run a trail but were not sure…
aloha HURT’ers, Last week, my wife Lesley and I spent five days grinding out a 45 mile roundtrip hike up and down Mauna Loa. This was the first time for both of us up the trail, and it was definitely tougher than we thought it would be. Highlights included staying at wonderful cabins for each…
EDIT: I changed this posting a bit. Big thanks to Marsha Sarver for giving me some info on the route! Around September or October, I’m going to do a run from my house in Wailuku town. It starts along Kahekili highway, just above Takamiya market. The course is all paved road – maybe some unpaved…
Minch mulls over the past year and gets even by giving people titles….. HURT 2008 was the culmination of a year’s worth of training and racing for Hawaii Ultra Runners. I was looking back over the year and am very impressed with what our small group of runners has accomplished. …
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.
