There is a lot going on over the upcoming long weekend. Triple Trek, Dick Evans Bike Race, and the Waikiki Rough Water. I know there are a few crazy people doing all three. I will do those three activities: run, bike, swim, just not biking 112 miles or swimming 2.4 miles. Christian Friis asked me…
Marian Yasuda sent me a link to this interesting article on Ibuprofen from The New York Times. Thanks Marian!There was also a companion article on Acetaminophen. Please take the time to read these. As athletes we have all probably taken one or the other of these in hopes of easing the pain and soreness after…

With everything going on it is easy to forget about a great opportunity we have right here on Oahu in early December. On Sunday, December 6th we can all participate in a world class event in one of the most beautiful places on Oahu. Kualoa Ranch will again be host to the XTERRA Trail Running…
Aloha Athletes ! With this being the last Saturday to train for the upcoming Tantalus Triple Trek, which will be held the following Saturday on Sept. 5, you can follow the old-school of thought and taper-off this weekend, giving your body a chance to recouperate and mend or you can go full-bore, making this your…
Yesterday I took advantage of our state birthday celebration to go out and run some Trek loops in the morning. I have not been running much distance lately so running two Trek loops would be a good challenge for me to step up my distance a bit. I know some H.U.R.T. runners see the Triple…
Hi Hurt gang! Hey, it's 2 days for the app deadline for Vi's Adventure Trek and Run, and there are only a couple HURT runners signed up so far. I know you all forgot. We can be a little soft on the deadline for HURT runners, if the apps are posted by the weekend- that…
Aloh Na Athletes ! Since we've got official Garmin confirmation that the Trek loops are only 8 miles after all, it's a perfect time to go out this Saturday and do "at least" two loops. I know for a fact that Cheryl, Ernest and Fish will be doing at least two, and if they're doing…

Hey runners, Since there was so much discussion and comment regarding Trek loops last week, Julie Ng was nice enough to send in this link to the Trek route that she mapped out using her Garmin. This is pretty cool and I am all for technology. However the Garmin is wrong. The loops are definitely…
Aloha Athletes ! With "The Tantalus Triple Trek" only 3 weeks from this Saturday, it's time to get familiar with the Triple Trek course. For the newbies, it will be the perfect opportunity to experience the course. For the rest of us, we can say "hi" to our old buddies, "roots and rocks". Plan to…
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.
