What a race! This was my first time at Western States and my first long run since cancer. So both milestones in one venue. I saw so many HURT runners and friends in Squaw Valley, and they were all so interested in my recovery. That was so cool. I headed to WS to pace my…
Click on photo for instant inspiration. More photos to follow on the blog. Written by Bob Murphy, subjected to rigorours review by Jeff Huff and Matt Stevens I went diving with my son, Kevin on Saturday and I was pretty nervous (scared) when we did a 107 foot dive. I told Jeff that’s the most…

aloha guys and gals, slight switch for Sunday’s run: in order to avoid wasted time in cars, we are going to meet at Maunawili Park, do Olo Mana’s 3 peaks, go through the irrigation tunnel of death and then proceed back to the hairpin turn and then back to the cars. This will be a…
aloha everybody, Jeff Huff and I were talking last night, and we wanted to put together the easiest stretch of 20 miles we could find for a little run on Sunday morning. We will be meeting at Nature Center at 5:45 AM, proceed to Nu’uanu via the trails, cross over the Pali Lookout and join…
The race was this weekend and unfortunately that meant a few of us had to miss Bob’s farewell. Aloha and GOOD LUCK Bob. The weather was pleasant and not too hot. A little wind, but all in all a great day for HURT. Nick Kaiser qualified once again as did Wendy Minor. Gil Loomis will…

Aloha everybody, I know this ain’t running, but this past weekend, my friend Ken, at the age of 60 years young, completed a life dream by paddling solo across the Ka’iwi Channel. After six and a half hours, unending 15 foot seas and having a big tiger shark cruise his kayak, he pushed beyond his…
Allright everybody, if you want a piece of the action, come and get it! Click image to enlarge for details. Matt
Gordon maps out an adventure….one way or the other. Gordon Lau got the highest praises from all for his planning and implementation of last Saturday’s training run. It was an adventure through new and uncharted (for most of the HURT crowd) areas around Ka’ahele and Waimano. It would be hard to elaborate the full extent…
Please Help!! Do you know anyone who might be interested in a free entry for the Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon on Sunday, May 7th this year? I am a volunteer for the marathon. We have entrants from every state but yours. We will give a free entry to anyone willing to do the full–it is…
Aloha gang, I decided today to return to Maui on July 1st to get the Haleakala Bike/Hike monkey off my back, and I’m looking for company to share in the suffering…I mean fun! You can check out my post from last May entitled Haleakala Mis-Adventure (click here to read it) for all the gory details…
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.
