Aloha Athletes: Happy Halloween! Is it possible that November is already here? What happened to October? I have a sinking feeling that the next 11 weeks are going to pass by at warp speed and H.U.R.T.100 will be upon us before we know it. Hopefully you will consume enough carbohydrates in the form of candy…

UPDATE 8/6/14: It is with a heavy heart and a very full refrigerator that I need to announce the cancellation of Run with the Pigs. The State has informed us that the level of danger with Iselle is too high and they will not permit the Maunawili Out and Back. We are looking at alternatives…
There will be one "semi-organized" group starting at the Pali lookout at 5:30 a.m. this weekend. Each person can do the distance, route, and speed that works for them. I will go in about halfway, and return to the lokout for a total of around 11 miles. Some may go to Waimanalo and back for…

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.
