The race is pau! That’s Hawaiian for finished. It was a great race with a lot of Aloha. We were fortunate to have the Hawaiian blessing of rain (and wind) at certain times throughout the race. This pleased some H.U.R.T. people because according to those who marked the trail on Friday, the course was just…

The weather has been pretty nice since last week Friday. In fact I said to myself on Saturday, now this is what our weather is supposed to be like here in Hawaii. It was a beautiful day. I just looked at the forecast and it looks really good all the way through the weekend. With…
The past two Sunday’s I’ve been shopping at Costco and a few other stores. Normally the Sunday before the H.U.R.T. 100, I might spend some time getting my drop bags ready and just taking it easy. Preparing my own things for the race was always pretty easy. Especially after having done it several times before….
Several H.U.R.T. runners gathered Saturday morning for an easy stroll through the park–Ho’omaluhia Botanical Garden, to wish Don Fallis a belated happy birthday, and to eat some good food. This picture unfortunately doesn’t show all who showed up–only those who stuck around late. All those running the H.U.R.T. 100 seemed ready to have get some…

Half-a-world away, one of our own H.U.R.T. runners will doing the same as you are–running 100 miles. Ben Cavazos is one of a very select few of runners who has participated in every H.U.R.T….
This past Saturday I think a few people were asking about gaiters, specifically Dirty Girl Gaiters. I said I would put up a link. Get your order in quick if you want them for race day. Not a bad idea considering the current course condition. I used DGG last year and was very pleased with…

You can find out your race bib number by clicking here. By now with the race just 30 days out, you should have your long training runs either completed already or you should be completing it by this weekend. After that it’s time to taper and enjoy the Holidays. Bob Murphy recently wrote me about…
Thanks again to all the people who took time out of their busy lives to get out and help with this trail work. All the runners in January will appreciate your efforts as will all the hiker’s who use these trails! Aloha, Bob We had a group of ten that met at the Pumping Station…
We have another nice group going up on the trails this Saturday (12/15) to work on some slide areas near the top of Manoa Cliff trail. We’ll met at the Pumping Station at 6 am, and consolidate into one vehicle (it will be tight). The plan is to drive with our tools to the…
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.
