Aloha Athletes, I just learned of this great deal and wanted to pass it on. I go back and forth between using technology like this and not using it. I also realize there are lots of competitive products and review sites out there. I learned of this most recent deal from DC Rainmaker and a…
The Ultraman World Championships was indeed the cap on my incredible racing career. It is difficult for me to put into words the experience I went thru, circumnavigating the Big Island by swim, bike and run….320 miles in 3 days with a 12 hour cut-off for each day.This was not a "race"….it was all about…
Aloha Athletes ! Thanks for the comments on last Saturday's training post. It's nice to know that some of you are interested. I hope a few of you can help new guy Brandt get familiar with HURT hospitality and comraderie. It's still alive. This Saturday, I've been told by Cheryl that the place to be is at…
Aloha Athletes, We know Monica Scholz as one of the runners who has completed every HURT 100. She also has run 100 mile runs all over North America. This year she broke her own record of 23 100-mile runs in a year and set a new world record by running 25 100-mile runs in one…
Aloha Athletes ! I have no earthly idea where everybody will be training this weekend…hopefully you do. I know that Anne from Alaska will be here Saturday and Cheryl and Julie T. are planning on showing her the Peacock trails. On Sunday morning, she will likely be on the HURT course. Sorry to not be…
This past weekend while many of us were enjoying Thanksgiving and all the leftovers, Black Friday and other Christmas shopping adventures or maybe even doing something crazy like Hogsback repeats all night long, Wendy Minor was out doing Ultraman. She had a terrific Ultraman support crew of Gil and Cheryl Loomis and Steve and Jakob Dewald….
Aloha Athletes ! Lately, Saturday Training has been a lot like "Gravy All Over"…different starting times, different starting places, which is the "way it is"…everyone has different schedules and lives in different areas of our beautiful island. This Saturday we will continue with our traditional HURT 100 training venue: 6:00 am at the end of…
Aloha Athletes ! "Same song…another verse"…Manoa to Jackass repeats…6 am at the end of Manoa Rd. By the way, there is someone who I forgot to thank for helping-out at the Peacock 54…Larry Inouye ! Larry is the very important person who gets permission to use the airfield facility for the race. No permission…no race….
Many thanks to all of you who participated in Vi’s annual Trek at Kualoa! All the usual old HURT course marshals manned the course (Bill & Punkin’ Burgess, Christine Begy, Steve Villiger, Clem Alec-Gorai, MikeM, Cheryl Loomis, Keith Moon’s lovely daughter Morgan, Rex Vlcek, Sean Price), dressed in costume! We had about 120 runners on…
Aloha Athletes, We have received word that there will be another version of the "unofficial" Run to the Sun in 2011. The date is Sunday March 20, 2011. Starting at 4:30 a.m. at the Kahului Alehouse/Maui Mall. Again this race is completely unofficial and individual runners will have to be completely self supported for nutritional…
Aloha Athletes ! With the very tough Peacock 54 behind us it's time to start serious HURT 100 training. This Saturday will be the first of many Saturday training runs over the next two months starting at 6 am at the end of Manoa Rd., and going to Jackass Ginger, and returning. Repeats are the…
Gordon has a few items from the race. 1) one military backpack with the name "Cecere" on it 2) one soft blue round cooler with pizza inside ( since thrown away) 3) one soft black cooler 4) one headlamp ( need to describe to claim and know brand) My question, since this was the last…
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.
