Aloha Athletes ! First and foremost is a big mahalo to all the wonderful volunteers that made last Saturday’s HURT Trail Series race, "Run With a View" a big success. There was mention of the"menehunes" that did all the great trail maintenance and grooming. I happen to know for a fact that these were not…
Aloha Athletes, We had a fun race with the Run with a View on Saturday. I have not got the official results yet but wanted to thank Race Directors, Cheryl and Don for putting on a great race. I also want to thank the trail menehune’s for their excellent work in clearing the trail. I’ve…

Aloha Runners, Tonight I had the opportunity to speak briefly to a group of runners at NikeTown about trail running. I know Don and few others have spoken to this group as well. One question that came up was trail access and how to find trailheads. At a presentation like this, that is a tough…
Aloha Athletes ! With everyone busy or going to do the Miwok 100k or doing training at Peacock Flats, we were unsuccessful in putting together a race preview for the upcoming (May 10) Run With A View. So, it looks like this Saturday training will be at Peacock Flats. We have a full day planned,…
I just got back from a run out at Peacock Flats. By the time I got back to my truck I had with me an extra Succeed pouch and 4 Gu-type pouches which I found on the trails. I’m sure we’ve all had something fall out our packs once in a while, but I wanted…

I have confirmation that Jeff Huff participated in a race near San Francisco called Diablo. Bob Murphy finished third at the MacNaughton 100 mile race under…
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.
