There’s likely not one ultrarunner in Hawaii that doesn’t know my good buddy Cheryl Loomis. Well, last night I received my March 2008 issue of "Ultrarunning" and was excitedly scouring the section "Ultrarunning’s 2007 Ultra Lists" when I came across the category "Oldest 100 Mile Finishers-Women". This gave a list of 11 women’s names, their…

Aloha Athletes ! Well, if you are not going to be in Maui this Saturday for Run to the Sun, I feel sorry for you. As a matter of fact I feel sorry for me, as I will be missing this great event for the first time in 9 years. Three other unfortunates, Marian Yasuda,…
Aloha Athletes, This Saturday will mark the last organized training run for Run to the Sun. We will look at the day as a taper day. Also on Saturday I’ve heard a few people will be at the Ft. DeRussey Biathlon. Finally, there is a group going up to Peacock on Sunday. I would imagine…
Race Director John has informed me that applications to the 2008 Run to the Sun race are closed. A record number of individual and teams have entered this year’s race so other than those applications still in the mail, he has asked that we pull the application from this site.
I know you have all heard about Ben and his H.U.R.T. 100 run in Kuwait. Here’s another article chronicling his efforts.
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.
