Aloha Athletes, Happy (almost) Thanksgiving to everyone! I hope everyone has exciting plans to eat lots of turkey and spend time with good friends and family. I haven't come across any folks who are running on Saturday at 6, so I'm going to leave it open this weekend. If you'd like some company or want…

Aloha Athletes, We were treated to a great day on the trails; they were wet, muddy, slippery–in spots, and we even had a passing shower or two just to keep the humidty up. All in all, perfect weather! RD's Sue, Heather and Fish did an awesome job of organizing and setting up the race and…
Race Day: (Saturday) August 31st, 2013 – 5:30 am Start. Aloha Kakou, Welcome to our 22nd Annual TTT. OK, here’s where we get a little serious on the mileage (50km or 30 miles), after all, this race marks the official beginning of H.U.R.T. training. Each runner will complete three of the Trek 10 mile loops,…
Aloha Athletes, After a few quick e-mails this morning we have an opportunity to do some trail maintenance in preparation of the Tantalus Triple Trek. I was able to run a couple of loops up there this weekend and overall the course is in pretty good shape with the exception of the area on the…
Aloha Athletes, My apologies for the late posting of these results, just getting back from a computer free couple of days on the North Shore (highly recommended!). PJ sent me this short video to post as how could we possibly have a "Run with the Pigs" without a real pig. Don't worry folks, the…
Aloha Athletes, Over the last few days a couple of the HURT family of runners have had some incredible results and success at two of the toughest ultra races on earth. First, Larry Inouye started the Hardrock 100 this past Friday morning. If you don't know anything about Hardrock, know that it has 67,984 feet…
Aloha Athletes, Rob sent me these results and it makes me a bit sad as we used to be race directors for this race. Unfortunately, we were unable to make it out today, however it looks like it was a great race as always. Be sure to thank RD's Jeff and Julie for their outstanding…

Aloha Athletes, I am sure today's race was pure "Madness" in the best of all ways! Unfortunately, a Saturday morning appointment kept me from the run. However, I did get out for a bit of early MTB madness before duty called. In any case, I will let others write up and hopefully send in some…
Aloha Athletes, Just a quick post to get the results up from this morning's Run with a View. Not sure the rain dancing worked as it looks like some fast times. Fun to see Mr. Jakob Dewald working his way up, taking 3rd overall today. Now it won't be long before he wins one of…
Round We Go I am constantly humbled by the kindness and generosity of the Hawaii sports community. It is truly a collection of people from all walks of life, all shapes and sizes, old and young who gather daily to take part in the gift of life by exercising the body that was given…
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.
