Kinda like Run to the Sun ….Sort of. Some runners from the mainland are interested in getting out of the frigid cold so… To be accommodating to our visitors we came up with Saturday March 6th. So it will be a TOTALLY UNOFFICIAL event, you'll be responsible for your own transport, park entry fee, nutritional…
Happy New Year Athletes, Just a quick head's up: Let's plan a fun run the week before HURT 10 by doing a reverse trek loop. We will start from the Nature Center at a leisurely 7:00 a.m. Come on out, runners, pacers, and volunteers.
Every year someone develops their secret training regimen for HURT. One year it was Matt Stevens running Kailua beach dragging a kayak behind him. Check out the skinny blades on their feet. I am not convinced this strategy will work.
Aloha Athletes !

So while dad, Steve was over at Ultraman, Stephen (with mom Lisa) was having his own endurance adventure. Stephen is part of Aulea Swim Club in Kailua. He swam this past Saturday from Lanai to Lahaina–about nine (9) miles. His time, just under 5 hours at 4:56. Amazing is all I can say. CONGRATULATIONS STEPHEN.

I have heard rumors of this for a month or so and just received confirmation from past Maui race director Bram DenHaan. "With regrets I announce that the 2010 the 30th Run to the Sun will almost definitely not happen. No one stepped up and 2 candidates that were slightly interested got scared. I'm bummed…
I had heard mention of a fence and gates being added up by where the work is being done close to the Map Room on the Manoa Cliff trail. Still I was not ready to see such a shiny fence and gate. The first gate is on the Manoa Cliff trail right at the Map…
Rich Roll had gotten quite a bit of notoriety for his athletic ability. Men's Fitness Magazine recognized him as one of their "25 Fittest Guys in the World". He participated in his first ever Ultraman in 2008 finishing in 11th place. He has done so while living and training on a vegan diet. You can…
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.
