Aloha Athletes ! This Saturday we return to the scene of the crime, for Run to the Sun training. We will meet at the water pumping station at the corner of Makiki St. & Makiki Heights Rd., slightly earlier than last week, at 6:30 am. The plan is to do the 9-10 mile Manoa Loop,…
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
Just in case anyone else is having as much trouble as I did finding this. I'm posting this here also. THE 2009 HURT 100 RESULTS or http://aditl.com/hurt/hurt2009.htm
Here is the site Akabill has for his many hundreds of HURT 2009 race shots. I looked through them and feel they are a great collection of faces and situations. I have not tried to download any, so I don't know the site routine. A big mahalo to Akabill for being out there and taking the…
Enough cannot be said, but still I'll attempt to some degree here. Aid Stations: Year after year, I think the aid stations are great but this year took the competition between each aid station to a new level. The energy at Nuuanu, the lights at Paradise and the excellent volunteers at Nature Center all brought forth…
Hi Gang ! Sorry for the late post. Tomorrow morning, Monday January 19 we will be meeting at 8:00 am at the water pumping station at the corner of Makiki St. & Makiki Heights Rd. to split into teams to go out and remove ribbons from the race course. No experience necessary, just come out…

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.
