I am not a H.U.R.T. regular, but have pitched in from time to time to help with trail marking for your races, etc. Inspired by a recent story in Ultra Running magazine, some friends and I are planning a double crossing of the Grand Canyon on May 9, 2009 (47.5 Miles). While training on the…
Can anyone loan me a road bike for next Sunday’s Dick Evans Ride? I signed up for this, but discovered that the rules won’t let me use my tri-bike. I ride a 56cm Cervelo (32″ in-seam), so something of about that size would be great. You can contact me on 808-520-3680 or kaiser “at” hawaii.edu…
The Nuuanu stash has been replenished to aid those who would like to start running HURT Loops early this year (see, e.g., comment section for the Saturday 8/23 training session). There’s plenty of liquids now (spring and distilled water, as well as 4 different flavours of sports drink), and, miraculously, the leftover snacks from earlier…
Aloha! I have an unopened 30 servings container of Hammer Nutrition Sustained Energy, Unflavored. I am not using it anymore and cant take it back so I would like to sell it for $30. I also have a Sugoi Running jacket that was worn once that I would like to sell for $50. The jacket…
Aloha I just got this months issue of Ultrarunning and as I was flipping through I came to page 55. There they were, a picture of Mike Garcia and Patricia Carroll out running the Squaw Peak Trail Run (50 miles). They came in 16:48. A job well done you make me proud. Can’t wait to…
Better late than never: here are some photos from this year’s Volcano Wilderness Runs – or rather, from the non-run parts of the event. Harald
Greetings everyone. I am in need of a guide who knows the Peacock route. However, I can only run on Sundays or during the week. I will pay handsomely with goodies (Clif bars, GU, etc..). Please call or e-mail me. My numbers are: 808-625-9692 and 808-371-2177 or webba003@hawaii.rr.com. Thanks, Devon Webb
The recognition comes a little late but Runner’s World has finally become aware of local talent. Here’s page 33 of the Aug 2008 issue of RW, featuring prominently Paul Hopwood! Note sneaky Dean Karnazes (on far left) trying to catch a little of the glory too… 🙂 (Marathon #18 in Dean’s North Face Endurance 50…
Hujambo HURT rafikis! Congratulations! We have a 140 lb., 5’8" 25 year old who ran a 1:52 800m on a dirt track at altitude in Kenya! To make a long story short, Lesley and I are back from Africa where we have been traveling for the past six weeks with our buddy Todd (my teammate…
Just as planned: a few newbies and a few oldies makes for a great time. We met at 6pm below Nature Center with some new faces to give it a whirl. One new face was Meagan, in town for a while and new to ultra running although, you would never know it. Maricio trash talked…
For the newbies and the oldies, this is just a fun night loop. Stash will be dropped at both locations, but bring enough food. Also, it is dark at night so maybe a light would be useful. Please email me so I can get an idea of how many people are planning to join the…
Aloha Athletes ! First and foremost is a big mahalo to all the wonderful volunteers that made last Saturday’s HURT Trail Series race, "Run With a View" a big success. There was mention of the"menehunes" that did all the great trail maintenance and grooming. I happen to know for a fact that these were not…
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.
