The Hardrock 100 drawing was held today and only one Hawaii runner is on the Accepted Runners list. Cheryl Loomis, Ed Bugarin, and Jeff Huff unfortunately are well down the wait list. The Hawaii runner who got in?? None other than 2008 H.U.R.T. 100 winner and Maui resident, Paul Hopwood. Congratulations to Paul! I think…
It’s hard to keep track of everyone and all of the races. Especially a race that takes place the week after the H.U.R.T. 100. Dave joined us this morning on our run through Manoa. Last year David Carlsson completed the 100K at H.U.R.T. and a week later went over to the Big Isle and won…
Minch mulls over the past year and gets even by giving people titles….. HURT 2008 was the culmination of a year’s worth of training and racing for Hawaii Ultra Runners. I was looking back over the year and am very impressed with what our small group of runners has accomplished. …

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.
