Aloha Athletes ! I'm sure by now that all of you have already read both Mike and Devon's race reports and hopefully understand how very tough the race conditions were on Saturday's Peacock 54, but even after all that, I still have doubts that you understand how tough it was to finish the damn thing….
Well my day started at 0100 after not being able to sleep. I drank about 6 cups of coffee and gorged on some food. My wife and kids drove me to the start and we got there at 0500. After helping set up I payed my $10 entry fee, went to the bathroom, and then…
‘Disgustingly Phenomenal’ is what I was mumbling repeatedly to the guys in the lead of yesterday’s Peacock 54. To give you an idea of how phenomenal I am talking about, just so you don’t think I’m misusing the word—I had taken a few yard slide along the ridge trail and was washing the mud off…
Photographer Glenn Poulain (Ocean Arts Hawaii) was out this past Saturday and took photos at Vi’s Adventure Trek and Run. From all reports, the event was very successful. It looks like everyone had a great time. Click here to see Glenn’s photos.Remember to click the first image and it will get larger to view as…
Sunday saw a small group including Monica and Phil heading out from Manoa toward Jack-ass. I was a bit late and played catchup. It was a beautiful day and I caught a few shots on the way out. I added a few of the group on the way back. Also in the set are some…

Sometimes, there is nothing like running solo. No iPod, no conversation – just time to run and think about anything to pass the time. This last Sunday, I stepped out around 5:30am for a long overdue South Loop beginning from home in Kailua. The weather was nice and of course hardly any traffic at this…
I have entered a special challenge and hope others will join in on the fun. It only requires a $20 entry fee and the ability to run one mile one day, then two miles the next and so on and so forth until you quit. 50% of the proceeds go to NAMI, an organization that…
Most of the HURT Crowd was busy doing things, and there were only a few HURT runners in a large crowd of people who did run. I was up on the hill, where I gave everyone a hard time…quite enjoyable. My shots are mostly of the valley, sorry. for not getting more of the other…
Sometime on Friday Don Fallis got to thinking about the Jack-ass Stash, and he tells me he naturally thought of me. Must be because I know so much about Nu’uanua Valley, or that I work there a lot, or that I one lived there, or that I do really well climbing up that trail. I…
On Saturday, Vi’s Adventure Trek and Run (click here for info) is happening out at Kualoa Ranch. I know many of you will be out at this great event. PJ told me the response has been incredible and they have far exceeded their planned number of participants for this event. If I know how things…
All, We have posted some new information over at the HURT 100 blog. Thanks, Jeff
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.
