Four HURT runners experienced a wonderful long Memorial Day weekend running on the trails of the Western States 100 as participants in the 2009 training camp. They were Gil Loomis, Rod Huddleston, Sarah McIntosh, and Marian Yasuda. It was a great three days of running getting to know the course and fine tuning for the…
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…

A local HURT runner has transformed himself in an effort to better his performance. For years he has been kidded and the 'heel' of many jokes by insensitive HURT members, but he continues to strive in spite of his need to purchase twice as many pairs of shoes as the average runner. If you see…
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…

Cheryl and Don put together a really fun event this past Saturday and it looked like the 85 participants all enjoyed themselves.

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…
Here’s a couple of pictures Pel took: the Hawaii contingent at the start huddling together for warmth, and another taken at one of the aid stations lost in the mist somewhere in Marin. Nick
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.
