Aloha Athletes ! This Saturday has several options. If you want to start early, call Cheryl @ 277-4960…otherwise the "regular" starting time will be 7:00 am, but I have no idea who will be there…no guarantees. There will also be a late start at 8:30 am. Hope to see a bunch of you out there….
The first race in the HURT Trail Series for 2010 is a fundraiser for the HPU Cross Country team. HURT members have long been involved in local school running programs. This is a great way to have some fun and support other runners. Since this is the first time we have held a trail series…
The first race in the HURT Trail series is on the Moanalua Valley Trail. Moanalua trail is one of the "easier" trails around, but will serve as a good warm up for the trail series. Distance will be approximately 6.2 miles to make it a 10k., it will be an out-and-back course. Directions, you will…
Run To The Sun Run Report (OK after reading and looking at this, I really miss this run! Thanks for the report and photos. Aloha, Bob) On Saturday March 6th @ 0430 Hrs a hardy bunch of about 12 runners took off from the Ale House and started their ascent up Haleakala Volcano. A…

As site monitor, I have decided to delete recent comments that have been appearing on this site in regards to the selection process, training and race entry. Pretty much this has been an open forum and people comment, post and reply on their own and I let it go. I have not liked the tone…
Aloha Athletes ! With so very few from Oahu heading over to Maui for Bram's "Fun Run" to the Sun we felt the need to post something for the rest of the gang, so Peacock Flats at 7:00 am seemed like a good choice. A pick and shovel day will prevent me from joining you….
Aloha, This is Robert P Smith and I’ve been following the HURT site for several months now and finally got out and ran the Pali lookout run with some of the supporters of the event, Jan M, etc. I’ve hiked a portion of the course, from the Nature Center out to Paradise Point and back…

Aloha Athletes ! With Bram's March 6, 2010 date for the unofficial "fun" Run to the Sun fast approaching, serious chatter on the subject was heard last Saturday on Tantalus. Since it's not a race or not even anything resembling a organized run, anyone showing up at 4:30 am at the parking lot behind the…

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.
