Once I saw the planned training run this weekend at Gordon’s secret spot I was excited and had planned on being there. However scheduling conflicts with my wife have made it necessary for me to do another night run on Friday. I’ll be leaving from the water tower near the Nature Center at 8PM. My…
The Lost Soul: Lethbridge Alberta Canada. Fifty K, Hundred K, Hundred Miler. Sept 14th and 15th (Friday and Saturday) Billed as the Toughest Race on the Prairie. Never let it be said that the ultra runners of Alberta Canada do not give themselves a challenge of the highest degree. They call the Lost Soul 100…
Well, I guess I missed (and upset) a couple of people by not putting enough info out last Friday for my night loops. I’m thinking about doing it again tonight, but don’t like being the only one on the trails–so if your interested please give me a call at 392-4815. If I can get others…
Just a short note to let everyone know that, because of what I feel was a poor performance by me in the last Triple Trek, I’m planning on doing two HURT loops starting Friday night at around 8PM. My plan is to do a 6 hour first loop and 6:15-6:30 second loop. I’m hoping some…

I was listening to NPR yesterday and they were talking about this 8 year old girl who ran 2,212 miles in 55 days (about 40 miles a day). You can read (or listen) to the story here. I thought a lot of people here might find the story interesting, but I hope it doesn’t upset…
It beat us up bad, no opinions to the contrary. Everyone has blisters and muscle problems and we are all hobbling around and making those long groaning sounds when we stand up or sit down. Mean and brutal are the common assessments of the Lean Horse experience for the HURT team members. Unpaved road, should…
Costco Honolulu (Headlamp) Costco Honolulu has a Raovac headlamp available K2 LED. Three double AA batteries in rear module. Well built, 85 lumens creates a knock down bright spot. I lit up my large yard like it was a night game at Dodger stadium. Price was around 25 bucks. If you are looking for a…

The air was warm and heavy with moisture even at 7:00 am as we all stood in grass just back from the Pali Overlook. Modern day warriors, men and women of Oahu, coming together in the killing grounds of the last great Hawaiian battlefield, waiting for the race stages to move out. Each filtering down…
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.
