Judy looked so strong and I knew she would have a great run. She kept saying that she may decide to run with us, but I kept telling her to take off and that I would stay with Rex. She ran her fastest 100 ever – super! Rex was awesome – honest! He was…
There I was wrestling the ferocious Dogbear to the ground; “save yourself” I told Bob, if I don’t catch up with you, tell them that I would have finished this time. Ok it wasn’t quite like that. But, as we were working our way toward the Rice Lake 81.5mile turn around, before the lip incident,…
We are all waiting to congratulate Rex in person on finishing his first 100 mile run this past weekend. These pictures will have to suffice for now. Of course we all know there is a lot more to tell than these five photos reveal. Hopefully Rex will provide a race report so we can get…
We got word this morning from Wisconsin that Rex Vlcek, Judy Carluccio, and Bob Murphy have all finished the Kettle Moraine 100 mile run. John Salmonson talked with him for about 15 minutes. Rex finished with Bob at his side in 27:51! The poison sumac got to him and his lip is about 4 times…
Aloha Athletes ! This Saturday will not be at Peacock Flats ! I know that's impossible to believe, but it's true ! Instead, most of the Western States gang will be meeting at Cheryl's house in Enchanted Lakes at 6:00 am, heading over to Waimanalo (6:40 am), and taking the Maunawili Trail to Pali Lookout…
Aloha Athletes ! If you are new to visiting this site or new to running with the H.U.R.T. group, you might begin to think Peacock is the only place we run. That is not true. It's just that right now with several runners training for races on the mainland, it is a great place to…
Aloha Athletes ! This Saturday should be interesting. Several of the regulars will be off island, with Marian going to the Western States Training Camp and I'll be in Turkey. Gordon, Fish , Kyra, and Ernest will be backpacking the Koolaus, and there are likely others doing fun things over the Memorial Day weekend. You may…

Aloha Athletes ! According to our buddy Rex, this Saturday will be his big training day for his upcoming 100 miler at Kettle Moraine (Wisconsin). His plans are to start sometime on Friday night, making his way over to Peacock Flats by 6 am Saturday morning. So, the plan is to be at the parking…
Perfect weather+beautiful trails+good people+great post-race food = FUN!! Cheryl and Don put together a really fun event this past Saturday and it looked like the 85 participants all enjoyed themselves. Not wanting past participants to be bored, the race directors, Cheryl and Don decided to have us run the looped course in reverse from previous…
Aloha Athletes, The next race in the 2009 H.U.R.T. Trail Series is coming up this Saturday. The Run with A View race is 8 miles of fun. In typical H.U.R.T. style, the course is 4 miles uphill and the second half, all downhill. 2008 race results and photos can be found on the right side…
Miwok was a different beast this year. I have always heard about how wonderful this race is. This year the weather was a significant factor as rain, wind, cold, and fog created some serious challenges. Apparently there were a lot of DNF's and some DNS's from people who just didn't show up. This photo shows…
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.
