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…

Anyone participating in the 12 hour needs to know that we hope the gate will be open for us at 5:00 am. Aaron hasn’t said anything about our parking situation, but it may have eased a bit since TTT. Nonetheless, if you can park outside of the first gate, that would help. Otherwise, go to…
We have reached a significant mile post for all who intend to run the HURT 100. 100 possible training days remain. If your schedule has not allowed you time to do significant distance and rigor training then it is high time to make the commitment to the distance. If you have run the 100…
Aloha Athletes ! This Saturday is the race that some have waited 12 months in anticipation. One of those is Mike Muench. This year will be extra special, because it will be our first opportunity to welcome Mike back from his summer of four (yes, 4) 100 mile finishes. Maybe Mike’s four 100’s were just…
(The last mainland race report post by Mike Minch for a long time) The Man vs. Horse run was held outside of Prescott AZ, in the Mingus Mountain Reserve that divides the Prescott valley from the Sedona. The views are spectacular and the terrain is very challenging. It is primarily an Equestrian Event and the…
Somedays are made just to go play. And that’s exactly what Don and I did on Wednesday. Don’s schedule has been nuts lately, so he’s not been able to get out with us training like he usually does. So when he asked me if I could go out with him to Peacock on Wed.,,,I said…
HURT is getting closer, and that fourth night loop is tough! So, here’s an opportunity to practice. I’m leaving NC at 5pm this Friday (10/5) and planning to run one loop, and possibly another. Should be completed with the first by 10pm and the second by 4am. Call or reply if interested (497-3911). – Paul
Aloha Athletes ! With the Hogsback 12 Hour race coming up a week from Saturday, it’s about time we devote a lil’ training to the race. Since it covers a portion of the HURT 100 mile course, it will serve as good training for it as well. There’s a rumor floating around that one of…
The last animal 100 in Mike Minch’s immediate future…….. I was feeling pretty confident as I headed out of the aid station and could see a 32 hour finish up ahead somewhere beyond the darkness of the night and some nightmarish group of jagged teeth perched at the gaping end of the altitude profile. But…
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.
