The Quintessential Trail Run of the Year is Just ONE week away. It’s the Marvelous Mangos! This is just a reminder, not that anyone who runs doesn’t already have it marked on their calendar, that the hottest race of the season is set to start at the Makiki Heights Water Tank Park at 7:00…
Four HURT runners experienced a wonderful long Memorial Day weekend running on the trails of the Western States 100 as participants in the 2009 training camp. They were Gil Loomis, Rod Huddleston, Sarah McIntosh, and Marian Yasuda. It was a great three days of running getting to know the course and fine tuning for the…

His family posted a message, as it seems he is recovering from heart surgery. http://www.davidgoggins.com/blog.html Send him a message and keep him in your prayers. Be well, train hard, have FUN! Let me know if any of you end up in New Mexico or…
A local HURT runner has transformed himself in an effort to better his performance. For years he has been kidded and the 'heel' of many jokes by insensitive HURT members, but he continues to strive in spite of his need to purchase twice as many pairs of shoes as the average runner. If you see…
Here’s a couple of pictures Pel took: the Hawaii contingent at the start huddling together for warmth, and another taken at one of the aid stations lost in the mist somewhere in Marin. Nick

aloha HURT ohana, I'm looking to unload these shoes on somebody for $ FREE.99. I got them in December at a Portland REI garage sale for cheap. (they were worn once) I've worn them about 4 times, and everytime the right shoe gives my heel a blister and I can't seem to toughen up my…
After months and months of anticipation, he is here! Mom, baby and dad are all at home resting and enjoying being a family. I'm so proud of how tenacious and tough Lesley was in the delivery room! Nate weighed in at 7 lbs. 7 oz. Though I am probably a bit biased, I do believe…
Someone gave me this article on humans evolved as long-distance runners. Have fun reading it and let me know how long it takes to kill a pig Mauricio http://seedmagazine.com/content/print/the_running_man_revisited/
Today, a generous group of the senior HURT crew offered their services to the younger and youngest generation of trail runners. Lesley and I went out for a walk on the trails to try to get the baby to come out, since Nathaniel is now officially one day overdue. After seeing these guys, we felt…
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.
