We have a Trail Advisory Council mtg tomorrow in the afternoon. Does anyone have anything they want me to add to my Trail Runner's report? News, trail conditions, etc (we know about the pig on Manoa Cliff) Curt Cottrell will be honored after the meeting (4/14/09– 4 to 5 or 5:30 mtg)- he will be…
Great race today put on today by Kat and Rob and of course John and PJ. I think Kat and Rob have set a high standard for the rest of the H.U.R.T. Trail Series race directors. The pig on the trail is a first I think? Sure there was a bit of mud out there…

Aloha Athletes ! This Saturday is the kick-off of the 2009 HURT Trail Series with the 7 mile Top of Tantalus race. Co-race directors Rob Lahoe and Kat Tagaca will have the course marked, water, Gatorade, snacks and even awards for the top finishers for your measly $10 entry fee. It's a hoot ! Just show-up…
As everyone by now knows, he rocked! I didn't get to chat with the other HURT folks but spoke with Dr. Bill for a while. He said they did great and were right behind him. The nights were a little colder than expected but he endured, came prepared and also increased his electrolytes plus a…
Aloha, I will be heading up to Peacock to drop off water on Friday. If anyone has money, supplies, etc….please get with me this week sometime. I unserstand that the water was stolen at the drop site so I will try to locate another one and take pics so you will know where it is. I…
Dr. Bill’s wife said he is on his 4th loop. He said he feels tired but strong. Slightly behind his planned time but a long way still. Advised him to keep up on his electrolytes. More later.
Just spoke with Dr. Bill over at Umstead. The weather is nice and should be good for his continued persistence to complete a 100 miler. He sounded confident and ready to take it out smart. I'll touch base with his wife over the weekend, and post any updates. He's well fed and ready to go…
Aloha Athletes ! Everybody had so much fun last Saturday at Peacock Flats that we decided to return to the scene of the crime this Saturday…same time…same station. So, plan to be at the parking lot behind the Dillingham Airfield Control Tower at 6 am sharp. As always, bring plenty of fluids, as summer is…
It appears that the Laysan Albatross colony up at Peacock Flats has gone missing. http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/20090330/NEWS14/903300334 I'm reposting the link from the Honolulu Advertiser since we do training runs up at Peacock and it's possible that someone saw some sort of activity in that area. Our regular training runs do not actually go through the nesting…
Aloha Athletes ! A nice crowd came out to Peacock's last Saturday and hopefully this Saturday will be no exception. Peacock Flats provides a great workout and beautiful vistas. Be prepared for warmer weather, which will be arriving soon, so a stash at the bottom of Long Road will become more-and-more essential over the next…
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.
