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…

A lot of people stated that they were planning on running CCC 100 in 2009, so I thought I'd give a heads up that the registration form in now online. You can't mail it until February 9th, but I think it's best to have it ready to go before you tell anyone "I'm never going to…
Just ask Harald. You see something, give your honest opinion and find that nobody wants to hear it. Just ask me. You read something, try a constructive comment and you find yourself in the same boat. Well Harald and I just decided to DO. So we hooked up with the DLNR Trail Maintenance Team today…

Heather Spencer (and Don Fallis) have put together a 2-disc video of the 2008 H.U.R.T. 100. I had the pleasure of watching the full video and it is great.

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.
