Minch just won’t stop whinning…….. I got to do a lot of whining if I am going to tell you my side of the HURT 100 for 2008. For those who know me it’s the same old problem over again, the same thing that may seem so obvious to others that keeps eluding me in…
Aloha HURT ohana, I thought I’d pass on an interesting article I found the other day about a 40 year old 410 lb. guy who is depressed about his weight and decides to walk across the whole country. He really had no idea what he was in for, and the article does a good job…
Hurt community, I wanted to take a minute to introduce myself and share a little about what I am doing. My name is Barry Walton. I am living in San Francisco and stumbled across the HURT 100 several months ago when a friend of mine started sharing about his hobby of ultra running and a…
For all of you that have a significant other who would like to see more of you, let’s run Friday night while they sleep and still be able to hang with them on Saturday! And for those of you that don’t have anyone, you can run all night and meet the HURT gang Saturday morning:)…
In addition to all your training options, here is another. Planning to run 50 miles but not leaving at 4am – NOPE! Leaving at 4PM after work. Will depart from NC, do a double with a PP/JG repeat in the middle for 50ish. I’m not turning 50, but I thought 36 miles was too easy:) …
I will be doing a double HURT loop tomorrow morning starting at 0600 from the Nature Center. If anyone wants to join me you can give me a call tonight at 625-9692. Jah Bless, Devon
Thanks Gordon, and everyone else who pitched in to make the run out at Peacock Flats yesterday fantastic. The course markings were great, as well as the stashes. Mahalo nui loa for creating the opportunity fore me to see a whole new set of trails! Here are a few pics for those who have never…
I have taken the windmill and hidden it well. Where it is, no one can tell. If you are the one to find it on the HURT loop then please pick it up and hide it somewhere hard to find (I sure hope Fish doesn’t mind). I do believe, after all, the windmill belongs to…

The healthcare team did not accurately…
Cheryl and I were just out to do a clean up at one of the drops and make sure it was stocked for the Friday/Saturday training sessions. It didn’t take us long to clean things up, and restock and we were ready to go back to the cars. Standing there on the trail, it was…
I have just gotten home after finishing 60 plus miles of Manoa-Nuuanu repeats. I completed this in 24 hours and 30 minutes. It was a birthday run and set for at least 58, so it can be regarded as a success. I had hoped to do a 100K and perhaps did so depending how…
For those of you with memories as short as my own I would like to re-invite you to join me this Friday night for a series of repeats in celibration of my bitrhday. I will be providing ample stashes at both ends for all on the trails this week-end.. The pairadice stash will be up…
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.
