A Hurt Loop training report by mnmuench… Paul provided his report, which is an accurate but most modest account of the events of the Friday night run. This run was Paul’s. He did one hell of job looking after everyone and ensuring that the water drops were cafe stops. I just want to add a…

Aloha Athletes ! It’s time to head back out to "Gordon’s Secret Training ground", Peacock Flats. However, after hearing rumors from last Saturday, where Mike Muench kicked everyone’s okole, and had Gordon saying "whatever Mike is taking…I’ve got to get me some of that !"…maybe we should be finding out what is Mike’s Secret…

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.
