Greetings Everyone, I contributed a little write-up, pics, and video for trail of the month at the Wilderness Running Company out of St. George, UT. The write-up is on Gordons Loop. It will be in Trailrunner magazine in the near future and there will be a link to view more pics and video on the WRC website. …

As everyone by now knows, he rocked! I didn't get to chat with the other HURT folks but spoke with Dr. Bill for a while. He said they did great and were right behind him. The nights were a little colder than expected but he endured, came prepared and also increased his electrolytes plus a…
Aloha, I will be heading up to Peacock to drop off water on Friday. If anyone has money, supplies, etc….please get with me this week sometime. I unserstand that the water was stolen at the drop site so I will try to locate another one and take pics so you will know where it is. I…
Dr. Bill’s wife said he is on his 4th loop. He said he feels tired but strong. Slightly behind his planned time but a long way still. Advised him to keep up on his electrolytes. More later.
Just spoke with Dr. Bill over at Umstead. The weather is nice and should be good for his continued persistence to complete a 100 miler. He sounded confident and ready to take it out smart. I'll touch base with his wife over the weekend, and post any updates. He's well fed and ready to go…
It appears that the Laysan Albatross colony up at Peacock Flats has gone missing. http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/20090330/NEWS14/903300334 I'm reposting the link from the Honolulu Advertiser since we do training runs up at Peacock and it's possible that someone saw some sort of activity in that area. Our regular training runs do not actually go through the nesting…
I am headed up to Peacock in the next week sometime (depending on weather) and wanted to know if anyone needs anything brought up there? Also, if anyone wants to go for a drive up give me a call or e-mail me. I have enough room for 5 people including myself. If you come plan on spending…
Well I am back to running, on the road at least. My knee feels good and isn't swollen. I have run 20 miles so far this week. I get to transition to "trail" (soft dirt path) soon. Look out Peacock and Pupukea:) I want to thank everyone for their support, especially my family. The physical therapist has…

NEW ADDITION: Check out photos from the Sweetheart's South Loop here. The group for the Sweetheart's South Loop on February 14, 2009 was slightly smaller than last year, but no less enthusiastic. Everyone was excited and raring to go. In fact, maybe a little too excited. We divided into two teams, pink team and red…
Photos Added 2/19/09: CLICK HERE It was one of those Ultra Travel days that one can not prepare for, no matter how one tries. After nearly twenty-four hours of airplanes, airports, and rental cars, I got to the motel room, beat and banged up, and seeing too many fingers in front of my…
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.
