I counted 21 people out training for HURT yesterday and I might even be forgetting one or two. It was a great day on the trails with cooler temps, lower humidity (I was still soaked), strong breezes on the ridges, and relatively dry trails. We had a few passing showers and it wasn’t till I…
Runners, Thank you all. Over the last couple weeks we have received an incredible amount of applications for the 2007 edition of the H.U.R.T. 100. It has been 7 years in the making, but we are proud to announce that this year’s event has filled to capacity. As such, we are no longer accepting applications…
Aloha Athletes ! Thanks for the response thus far. However, like the Marines, we still need a few good men (and women) for trail marking on Friday morning January 12 and un-marking on Monday January 15, 2007. No experience necessay, and it will give you a new perspective of the HURT 100 course, not to…
Anyone notice that the countdown timer says 30 days until the HURT 100 (as of 12/14)? Yikes!! I am beginning to think maybe seeing that every day is not such a good thing. What do you think? Certainly motivates me to keep focused on the race. The latest update to race entrants can be seen…
Aloha HURT 100 Athletes ! In case you missed the nice, detailed post by Bob McAllaster last week (click here to review it), describing the 50 mile training run this Saturday, the following is a repeat of the plan. This Saturday is the big day for 50 miles of HURT 100 training ! The day…
A lot of us had quite the weekend. It started off with watching Jake Shimabukuro play at the Waikiki Shell. He’s an amazing musician. He was also scheduled to run his first marathon on Sunday. Saturday evening we went to the U2 concert. Funny, the atmosphere in the stadium parking lot was more mellow prior…
Aloha Athletes, I just received an e-mail from Cathy Tibbetts with the sad news that Marc Witkes died of an apparent heart attack on Sunday while running the Tucson Marathon. Marc was a very nice young man and athlete, who has been on the board of the Hardrock 100 for many years. I was fortunate…
Aloha Athletes ! You still will have the opportunity to get a little training in over this crazy weekend filled with numerous fun events, including some concerts and the Honolulu Marathon, by joining the group for a HURT loop. With a long day of training (and part of the night) planned for next Saturday, enjoy…

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.
