Here’s a couple of pictures from Mike’s Birthday Breakfast. The menu: Breakfast burrito’s with eggs, turkey bacon, cheese, salsa and sour creme, fruit, and coffee. Hmmm? Could be a sign of things to come for a certain aid station in Nuuanu. Click on each to enlarge them.
I received this via e-mail from PJ today. She is describing Carl Gammon, former Hawaii resident and 2008 H.U.R.T. 100 participant. Carl was one of the original Team Radar (pre-HURT) and was the guy who, with Big John, eventually invented our current name of "HURT". Carl is the word-genius, and always full of pun jokes-…
Maui Xterra World Championships submitted by Paul Sibley Congrats to a wonderful race by a few local ultra runners. With added support to fellow racers who saw many flats, both Steve and Paul completed the off road course in Makena, Maui this weekend. Thanks to their excellent ultra training, they were prepared with the right equipment…
PJ has asked me to post this: Any of you who knew Chase Morrill, and his family, may want to attend his services at Makapuu Beach Saturday morning at 8:30 am. Chase was a Pac-5 cross country and track runner, who loved going out on the trails. He helped out at HURT 100 the past…
Sorry for the delay in getting these posted. I am having some pdf conversion challenges. Congratulations to all the runners. Click here to see a few photos. 2007 12-Hour Hogsback Results Men Place Name Miles 1 Paul Hopwood 45.002 David Carlsson 42.503 Gordon Lau 40.004 Harald…
Anyone participating in the 12 hour needs to know that we hope the gate will be open for us at 5:00 am. Aaron hasn’t said anything about our parking situation, but it may have eased a bit since TTT. Nonetheless, if you can park outside of the first gate, that would help. Otherwise, go to…
Somedays are made just to go play. And that’s exactly what Don and I did on Wednesday. Don’s schedule has been nuts lately, so he’s not been able to get out with us training like he usually does. So when he asked me if I could go out with him to Peacock on Wed.,,,I said…
Just got an interesting story from Fish about his encounter with Leo this past Sunday afternoon. He went for an ‘easy run’ Sunday afternoon in his trade mark attire: Army Pants, High Sierra Hydration Pack with attached Bear Bell. His intention was to enjoy a quiet afternoon on the trials but unexpectedly spotted Leo upon…
I searched for the photos however it’s probably a good thing I couldn’t find them. What photos? The ones of Matt’s heel after last year’s HURT 100. I was looking for some photos of him finishing the race, tired, muddy and pretty much beat up, looking like many of us do after 100 miles. I…
The running of the Maui Marathon this past weekend reminded me of something else on Maui. However, first congratulations must go out to Julie Doheney of Kailua and FleetFeet Sports. Julie ran a personal best by over 25 minutes and won the women’s race with a time of 3:18! All results can be found here….
I came across this and it looks pretty cool. It’s a hydration vest that includes what looks like a pretty good LED headlight and two taillights. There is a trail, road, and bottle pack option. Check it out here. The Speedgoats (Karl Meltzer and Scott Mason) were talking up the Petzl e+lite. You can read…
I now have by second 100 miler under my belt. My last 100 miler was the HURT100 in 2003. After that run, I was a complete mess. My hydration was non-existent, I didn’t know what to do with electrolytes, and I never grasped the importance of eating. Even though I finished the HURT100 in 2003,…
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.
