Several months ago when Mike Muench told me that he was planning to do four (4) 100 milers over a 7 week period, I have to admidt that I was taken back a bit. However, as he explained it, it sounded reasonable from an ultrarunner’s mentality. He planned to fly to the mainland and drive…

I’m not the best at loading photos, but here is a link to SnapFish for lack of another tool: Mt. Rainier Photos I hope it is easy to view – so great photos.
Larry Inouye and myself, Paul Sibley, made it to and most importantly back from the summit of Mt. Rainier (14,410 feet) along with our climbing partner Carl Overaa! This was an amazing endurance effort that saw us push up and back with over 20 hours of climbing in less than 48 total hours carrying packs…

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.
