Hello all! I live over on your neighbor island of Kauai and am anxiously anticipating the Run to the Sun. With many triathlons under my belt (Ironman distance and down), I’d like to consider myself an endurance junkie but this will be my first ultra running event -and I am stoked. I wish I had…
To use a "huffism", the HURT 100 VI was phenomenal. I cannot give enough gratitude to the race directorate, the multitude of volunteers, and the HURT gang that helped me accomplish such a monumental goal. It just doesn’t get any better than that! My race report follows, for those who might be intersted. Huge Mahalo…

I don’t know how many times in my life I have gained a new perspective, only to lose it again. I do know it is many. It continues to amaze me how easily we take the blessings in our lives for granted. Picture this: It is 0330hrs, it has been raining for nearly two weeks…

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.
