We interrupt this busy holiday season with an important announcement! Ok, I know there is a lot going on–the Honolulu Marathon, Christmas, the H.U.R.T. 100, the ever changing economy, etc, however there is very fun race coming up next year and the darn thing is almost full. If you have any interest in doing the…
Aloha Athletes ! It really gave me a thrill to walk by the magazine section at Border's and see the cover of the December 2008 issue of Runner's World with our buddy David Goggin's picture on it. Wow ! Too cool ! My copy will remain a treasure. Inside, there's a nice 2 pages devoted…
Aloha Athletes ! SURPRISE !! I'm sure it's a shocker, but Cheryl says that Saturday Training this week will be a HURT loop (or more) starting at our usual Manoa location at the mauka end of Manoa Rd. at 5:50 am. Actually the start time will be promptly at 6:00 am, but you need to…
UPDATED Steve finished in 9:40. Gil about 10:30. Congratulations to both of you!! We look forward to hearing more about it. I've heard from Cheryl a couple of times and it seems the saying, "We wouldn't want it to be easy!" certainly applies to Ultraman. On day 1, during the swim Gil was stung by…
Gil Loomis and Steve Dewald don't have to worry about wearing off their Thanksgiving dinner or the extra calories from that second piece of pumpkin pie. In fact, they might eat a third piece. They also don't have to worry about the long lines and traffic around the malls on Black Friday. It's not that…
So much to do…and so little time to do it in. The H.U.R.T. 100 countdown timer says 53 days! Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. We really do have a lot to be thankful for. Many of us training for either the marathon, the XTERRA Trail Run Worlds (there is countdown timer on their site too….
Aloha Athletes ! Marian Yasuda will be taking her sister, who is entered in the HURT 100, on a double-hurt training run this Saturday, starting promptly at 5:45 am at our normal Manoa starting spot. So, plan to get there at 5:30 am and bring all of your aloha…it will be needed for this hurt-course-first-timer….
With this weekend's predicted big rain, I was not sure what to expect for a Saturday training session. All week I had debated what to do–see there was a 12 hour MTB race out at Kualoa Ranch from Noon to Midnight scheduled too. I told Barbi if I was going to do anything for 12…
Aloha Athletes ! Continuing our training for the HURT 100, it will be business as usual with a HURT loop, starting at Manoa at 6:00 am. Be at the mauka end of Manoa Rd. at 5:50 am for a prompt 6:00 am start. If you like, do more than the one loop…after all, the clock…

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.
