Click here to view the latest entrant list for the HURT 100. Just a couple of observations. I think I counted 12 different states represented so far (not counting Hawaii)–in other words participants are coming from all over the U.S. Where’s our Canadian participants? Our one applicant (to date) and past participant, Charlotte has withdrawn…
Nanci Gandy left Hawaii on Wednesday evening on her own deployment where she will join her husband in Iraq. Colin was deployed a few months back. We wish them well in this next adventure of their lives. Safe travels & a speedy return.

Today was the running of the Windward Half Marathon and it was run under some pretty good conditions. Though it was very humid we were fortunate to have good cloud cover. I am not sure how many participated (I had heard around 750 but not sure if this is accurate??) however several HURT runners and…
AFTER RACE GET TOGETHER. Sunday’s Windward Half is pretty much of a Lark for most of the HURT gang. After all FLAT ROAD courses are not our usual fare. And it’s ONLY 13 miles. But it should be a great chance to just relax and have a good time. After the race you are…
On 9-26, the first HURT 100 trail maintenance group (the MMs) met in the dark, and the rain, at Jackass Ginger. We carried tools and backpacks at 6:10 am, across the raging Nuuanu Stream, up to the top of the switchbacks on Nuuanu Trail. With Aaron’s hoes,rakes, and picks, we hacked out slide areas to…
At TTT, we were joined by Brenton Floyd and his grandmother "mamabetty", his handler, in Brenton’s effort to complete his SECOND round of marathons in all 50 states and D.C.

From what I hear, this past Saturday some people did up to three repeats of Paradise to Nuuanu and back. That is great HURT training! For this coming Saturday, something different is planned. The group is planning to run one reverse Trek loop (10 miles) and then do multiple repeats up Hogsback, over the crossover…
If you were not worried about the fast approaching HURT 100, you should be! This past Sunday, Alan Webb, a 3:48 miler and America’s finest middle distance talent, was out on Maunawili Trail and hammering! If you think your in shape, you’ll think differently after he hands you your a** going back up the Old…
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.
