Hey Guys and Gals ! While most of you were having fun on the HURT 100 course, playing in the mud, Cheryl and I were having a marvy day at Peacock, enjoying the beautiful vistas and cool breezes. Jan was doing her own thing, up ahead and we were elated to see Gordon and Malia,…
Aloha Athletes ! In addition to multiple training venues on the HURT 100 course, several of us are venturing out to the Peacock Flats area this Saturday for some different views and terrain. Cheryl will be starting at the bottom of Long Road at 5:00 am, using my new flashlight from Fish. By the time…

Hi Guys and Gals ! Yep, the heading is real…no mis-print…Monica Scholz is planning to break her own record for "most 100 mile finishes in a calendar year", starting with the HURT 100 on January 16-17, 2010 !

Aloha Athletes ! A busy day is planned for all who are training for HURT 10, starting at 6 am, that's 0600 to some, at the usual Manoa location, just before Paradise Park. If you plan your training day with at least a HURT loop, more for the faster runners, that should put you Johnny-on-the-Spot to…
Aloha All, For those of you like me, who have seen Fish's fantastic flashlight in action it's time to order. Cheryl just told me he would be ordering tonight ! They are a measly $30 and if you want one call Fish at 358-9130. Leave a message, if he doesn't answer. The only thing else…
Aloha Mike ! Although I can't speak for all of your ultrarunning buddies, I can speak for Cheryl, Rex, Rob, Ernest, Harald, Bozo, Gordon, Huddy, Frank and Larry when I say what a remarkable feat you have accomplished with your 60 hour birthday run.

Brenda and…
Just got off the phone with Mauricio. Cheryl had called me too after Bozo called her. Apparently there is a very fresh slide and tree down on Nuuanu trail. It is somewhere close to the lower of the two ropes on the trail. Mauricio was able to get through it but he said it was…
Just in case training with Mikey from Thursday night until Sunday morning will leave you unfulfilled and looking for something more…Steve will be doing a 40 mile South Loop, starting at 6:00 am from Cheryl's house on Sunday morning. Since a South Loop goes right by the HURT 100 course at two locations, it will be…
Aloha Athletes ! HURT Tradition has it that when your birthday comes up, you run your "age". For example, when you turn 26 you run the marathon distance, 26 miles. Sounds easy, huh? So what happens when you turn 60? Yep, same thing…you run your age. 60 miles. Well friends, a few months ago Mike Muench confided…
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.
