I am a sucker for good photography. In fact I was just on-line looking at digital camera’s. I have three Nikon 35mm SLR film camera’s that were great in their day. Unfortunately they aren’t worth much today. As great and convenient as the new small, pocket-size digital cameras are, nothing beats a SLR. I was…

Aloha Runners, The 2008 edition of the H.U.R.T. 100 run is nearly half full, please see the list. There are only 50 slots left, and with $500.00 being paid for a new course record for 100 miles you don’t want to miss this opportunity at running H.U.R.T. Aloha, John & Jeff
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.
