This past Saturday, in a noble gesture to help get Don ready for Badwater, I awoke early and met the HURT crew out at Ho’omaluhia for some light training. Little did I know that Don’s Badwater quest has jacked up his aggression and intensity quite a bit, and that the smallest provocation can set him…

Two weeks ago, a group of crazy runners headed out to celebrate Marian Yasuda’s birthday with a 40 mile run around the south end of Oahu. Marian organized this run with great food and a fun photo-scavenger hunt. These photo’s won’t mean much to those who weren’t there but it was a fun night searching…
Hey Gang, A heads up for those interested in a new hydration pack. I just picked up a High Sierra Hydration Pack at Hawaii Kai Costco which appears to be fairly sound. It is a 2 liter pack, with two extra gear pockets and a web outer pocket. Some additonal tuck and store space. antimicrobial…

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.
