Aloha Athletes ! It looks like all the planets are in line and we are going to finally be able to do the long-awaited Peacock 50 training run/race. So you are asking "what is a training run/race?" Well, it’s a training run at race-pace…you know, kind of a competitive training run, where everybody starts at…
Aloha Athletes ! With the Thanksgiving weekend at our doorstep and many things planned with family and friends it seems appropriate to make this a "do what you want" training weekend. There are rumors of Wednesday night HURT loops and even the possibility of a Peacock Flats run on Saturday, but these are only rumors,…
Aloha Athletes ! We will be returning to the HURT 100 course for two HURT 20 mile loops, starting at 6:00 am at Paradise Park. Please park in the usual location at the end of Manoa Rd. just before it narrows, heading back to Paradise Park. Please try to be there by 5:50 am, so…
Aloha Athletes ! We’ve been planning for several weeks to do the Peacock Preview this Saturday, but are still waiting to get the green light from the powers that be. Gordon is hoping to get approval, but you just never know in these matters. Hopefully we will hear by Thursday afternoon, but if not, we’ll…
This Saturday’s training will be held as originally planned on the HURT 100 course starting at 6:00 am. We will reschedule the Peacock Preview, hopefully for Nov. 17 and the Peacock 50 training run hopefully for Dec. 1, but will let you know. In the mean time, join the gang at the mauka end of…
Aloha Athletes ! No, we haven’t lost it…at least not yet. Gordon has received reports that the Waianae trail closures are expected to be to be re-opened over the next day or two, so it’s a good possibility that we will be able to have the Peacock Preview this Saturday. Please keep a watchful eye…
Aloha Athletes ! Tick, tick, tick…November is here this Thursday, so it’s time to get serious, if your name is on the HURT 100 entrants list. I know…you think you still have plenty of time to goof-off before getting serious, but, trust me, you don’t ! So be at the end of Manoa Rd. at…
Aloha Athletes ! Due to trail closures, we are forced to change our Saturday Training tomorrow (10-27-07). Fires in the Peacock Flats area have prompted the action. Instead, we will move our training run to Maunawili, starting at Pali Lookout at 6:00 am and doing an out-and-back from Pali Lookout to Waimanalo…a nice, fast 22…
Aloha Athletes ! It’s always a special occasion when we make it out to Peacock Flats. All the grumbling and whining about the long drive (which is never as long as we thought)seems to disappear after we’ve made that first big climb up Kalia or certainly by the time we’ve looked out over the beautiful…
Aloha Athletes ! Mark your calendars for two upcoming special Saturday training dates: October 27 and November 17. The October 27 date is a 25 mile "preview" and the November 17 date is a 50 mile training run at "race pace", which was designed to give us Hawaii runners non-existent 50 mile race conditions during…
Aloha Athletes ! This Saturday we will begin ramping up for the HURT 100. Mike Muench has already posted the sobering message "100 Days to 100 Miles" which will soon be 90…then 80…then 70…so set your alarm on Friday night and then meet Cheryl and the gang at the end of Manoa Rd. in time…
Aloha Athletes ! This Saturday is the race that some have waited 12 months in anticipation. One of those is Mike Muench. This year will be extra special, because it will be our first opportunity to welcome Mike back from his summer of four (yes, 4) 100 mile finishes. Maybe Mike’s four 100’s were just…
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.
