Aloha Athletes ! No, we haven’t lost it…at least not yet. Gordon has received reports that the Waianae trail closures are expected to be to be re-opened over the next day or two, so it’s a good possibility that we will be able to have the Peacock Preview this Saturday. Please keep a watchful eye…
I received this via e-mail from PJ today. She is describing Carl Gammon, former Hawaii resident and 2008 H.U.R.T. 100 participant. Carl was one of the original Team Radar (pre-HURT) and was the guy who, with Big John, eventually invented our current name of "HURT". Carl is the word-genius, and always full of pun jokes-…
Maui Xterra World Championships submitted by Paul Sibley Congrats to a wonderful race by a few local ultra runners. With added support to fellow racers who saw many flats, both Steve and Paul completed the off road course in Makena, Maui this weekend. Thanks to their excellent ultra training, they were prepared with the right equipment…
Aloha Athletes ! Tick, tick, tick…November is here this Thursday, so it’s time to get serious, if your name is on the HURT 100 entrants list. I know…you think you still have plenty of time to goof-off before getting serious, but, trust me, you don’t ! So be at the end of Manoa Rd. at…
PJ has asked me to post this: Any of you who knew Chase Morrill, and his family, may want to attend his services at Makapuu Beach Saturday morning at 8:30 am. Chase was a Pac-5 cross country and track runner, who loved going out on the trails. He helped out at HURT 100 the past…
Aloha Athletes ! Due to trail closures, we are forced to change our Saturday Training tomorrow (10-27-07). Fires in the Peacock Flats area have prompted the action. Instead, we will move our training run to Maunawili, starting at Pali Lookout at 6:00 am and doing an out-and-back from Pali Lookout to Waimanalo…a nice, fast 22…
Aloha Athletes ! It’s always a special occasion when we make it out to Peacock Flats. All the grumbling and whining about the long drive (which is never as long as we thought)seems to disappear after we’ve made that first big climb up Kalia or certainly by the time we’ve looked out over the beautiful…
Mike Minch cordially invites you to a join him in a ‘Worst of HURT’ birthday run on the 9th and 10th of November. The celebration will start Friday the 9th just after dark (7:00 PM) and continue on through five plus Pairodice to Jackass repeats (just shy of 60 miles.) Mike will provide refreshments at…
Aloha Athletes ! Mark your calendars for two upcoming special Saturday training dates: October 27 and November 17. The October 27 date is a 25 mile "preview" and the November 17 date is a 50 mile training run at "race pace", which was designed to give us Hawaii runners non-existent 50 mile race conditions during…
Aloha Athletes ! This Saturday we will begin ramping up for the HURT 100. Mike Muench has already posted the sobering message "100 Days to 100 Miles" which will soon be 90…then 80…then 70…so set your alarm on Friday night and then meet Cheryl and the gang at the end of Manoa Rd. in time…
(Mike Minch coughs, gags, and stumbles his way through 11 hours of insanity) I hate Paul Hopwood. The guy passed me so many times during Saturday’s Twelve Hour Endurance Run that I could have sworn he was hiding in the bushes and letting me stumble by so he could rocket man by me again and…
Sorry for the delay in getting these posted. I am having some pdf conversion challenges. Congratulations to all the runners. Click here to see a few photos. 2007 12-Hour Hogsback Results Men Place Name Miles 1 Paul Hopwood 45.002 David Carlsson 42.503 Gordon Lau 40.004 Harald…
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.
