We are trying to gauge the interest for the 2005 H.U.R.T. Mystery Run scheduled for November 25, 2005. This race was held for the first time in 2004 and for most participants, was a blast. The race started about 7:00 p.m. on a dark night at the Hawaii Nature Center. Mike Muench outwitted and out…
This past weekend saw 19 participants toe-the-line for the annual H.U.R.T. 12-hour run.

Some of us begged off with other commitments, while others persevered the full 12 hours. Click here for the results. Congratulations…

In all my pre-Plain planning and training, I forgot to mention that we now have a local source for Montrail trail shoes. Fleet Feet Sports in Kailua is now stocking Montrail.

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.
