NEW ADDITION: Check out photos from the Sweetheart's South Loop here. The group for the Sweetheart's South Loop on February 14, 2009 was slightly smaller than last year, but no less enthusiastic. Everyone was excited and raring to go. In fact, maybe a little too excited. We divided into two teams, pink team and red…
Photos Added 2/19/09: CLICK HERE It was one of those Ultra Travel days that one can not prepare for, no matter how one tries. After nearly twenty-four hours of airplanes, airports, and rental cars, I got to the motel room, beat and banged up, and seeing too many fingers in front of my…

Aloha All, Thinking back on the many pieces that make up the HURT 100 race and all the hard work by so many, it makes me proud to be on the HURT team. After all, HURT stands for "Hawaiian Ultrarunning TEAM"…and we are a "TEAM". The HURT 100 race has come a long way since…
I just got the call that I have been waiting for. Someone cancelled and my surgery has been pushed up to Friday the 23rd of January. Whoo Hoo!!! Next week I start PT and then it is time to slowly get back into it. I am still planning on Angeles Crest 100 in September. I…
Aloha Athletes ! With many runners bodies still mending from the HURT 100 race, we thought it would be nice to just ease-into the beginning of Run to the Sun training. A little later start (6:45 am) and a slightly shorter route (the basically flat 10 mile Manoa loop) is the plan for this Saturday,…
Here are some more pictures that Pel took. Many of me, naturally, but lots of other nice ones too. You should be able to download them freely. Full resolution copies on demand from kaiser at hawaii.edu. Nick
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.
