Aloha Athletes ! Well folks, most of the mud has been washed away from runners' legs for another HURT 100. Cheryl thought it would be fun to have a workout at Hoomaluhia Botanical Garden and meet afterward inside the Garden for a potluck. So here's the plan: meet at 7:00 am at the entrance to…

Yesterday I posted photos from the start of the 2010 HURT 100 and early on loop 1. Today I want to post photos from the finish. I combined Disc's 5 & 6. This is what you want to visualize—see yourself at the finish on Sunday.
These photos show the start and early stages of loop 1. Again the photos were taken by Peter Daspit.
Aloha Athletes, It is the week many in our local ultra community have worked hard for all year. I want to wish the best to those running this weekend in the HURT 100. Runners entered in this weekend's race have worked hard and long, putting in the needed hours to train for a 100-mile race….
Aloha Athletes, In what has become a pre-race tradition, we will be running a reverse trek loop starting at the Nature Center at 7:00 a.m. on Saturday.

Today, Carol and I went for a short Christmas run. We ran to where Nick K. reported fallen trees on December 22. We arrived at the fallen trees around 1 PM. There were two trees, both with trunks the diameter larger than my bow saw could handle. We did manage to clear some of the larger branches…
Aloha Athletes ! 2010 has been an amazing year for the HURT family of runners ! There's been so many new faces out there that I certainly can't begin to count them all. Every HURT Trail Series race for 2010 broke attendance records ! It's been an exciting year. John, PJ and Jeff have been…
Aloha Athletes, Just wanted to give you a list of items I found doing a search on the web last night. I know it is last minute but… Hand Crank Flashlight The perfect gift to keep you awake at night during the HURT 100. When it dies, you will be forced to crank it for…
Aloha Athletes, Just wanting to let you know about an upcoming event some of you might be interested in.

Aloha Athletes ! Well boys and girls there's something like 4 weeks from this Saturday until the running of the 11th annual HURT 100 Mile Trail Endurance Run, so THIS WEEKEND should be about your last shot at a long training run. Some people say "aw, a couple of HURT loops should do it", but…
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.
