I am not a H.U.R.T. regular, but have pitched in from time to time to help with trail marking for your races, etc. Inspired by a recent story in Ultra Running magazine, some friends and I are planning a double crossing of the Grand Canyon on May 9, 2009 (47.5 Miles). While training on the…
Can anyone loan me a road bike for next Sunday’s Dick Evans Ride? I signed up for this, but discovered that the rules won’t let me use my tri-bike. I ride a 56cm Cervelo (32″ in-seam), so something of about that size would be great. You can contact me on 808-520-3680 or kaiser “at” hawaii.edu…

The Nuuanu stash has been replenished to aid those who would like to start running HURT Loops early this year (see, e.g., comment section for the Saturday 8/23 training session). There’s plenty of liquids now (spring and distilled water, as well as 4 different flavours of sports drink), and, miraculously, the leftover snacks from earlier…
Aloha! I have an unopened 30 servings container of Hammer Nutrition Sustained Energy, Unflavored. I am not using it anymore and cant take it back so I would like to sell it for $30. I also have a Sugoi Running jacket that was worn once that I would like to sell for $50. The jacket…
Aloha Athletes ! With the Tantalus Triple Trek almost upon us (Saturday August 30) it’s time to get in some time on the Triple Trek course. Any ultrarunner worth his or her salt is already in great physical shape and will only be using this refresher run to get familiar with a few of the…
In general Team Hawaii had solid performances. The field was stacked with the best kids in the nation so it was truly a great day of racing. Swimming in green pond with about 100 ducks made the kids realize how good they had it here in Hawaii. For complete results go to usat.com. Here’s a…
Aloha I just got this months issue of Ultrarunning and as I was flipping through I came to page 55. There they were, a picture of Mike Garcia and Patricia Carroll out running the Squaw Peak Trail Run (50 miles). They came in 16:48. A job well done you make me proud. Can’t wait to…
Aloha, First let me say that I apologize for the agonizing delay in getting this list out to you all. It has been an extremely difficult 2 + weeks for us, but we think we have put together a list of runner’s who are capable of taming the beastly trails of Tantalus. After many hours…
Vi Jones-Medusky, longtime friend to H.U.R.T., and a great athlete, participated in running and ulltrarunning (remember Vi finishing the relay with her walker the last few years at Run to the Sun?), triathlons, surfing, paddling- you name it! She worked at Kaiser as a nurse, and recently obtained her masters degree in nursing. Although ALS…
This is our 17th annual TTT- can you believe it? Now that it is part of the Trail Series, there is no pre-registration, so just come early and sign in. Each runner will complete three of the Trek 10-mile loops, coming back through the Nature Center aid station each loop. (make sure you check in…
Aloha Athletes ! With the Tantalus Triple Trek coming up on August 30 and with HURT 100 training following immediately thereafter, this Saturday will be a somewhat rare training opportunity at Peacock Flats. Don’t worry, as we will definitely make it back to Peacock for training, specifically for the Peacock 54 HURT Trail Series race…
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.
