The last race in the 2006 HURT Trail series is scheduled for October 14. The Hogsback 12-hour race is an excellent opportunity for trail runners to build their strength and endurance as training for the 2007 HURT 100 in January. It is also good for trail runners who want to see just how far they…
Jeff Huff and Bob Murphy will be running in the Plain 100 this weekend in Washington state. Jeff finished the race in second place last year (one of only two finishers) and Bob came ever so close. With a year of experience under their belts, we are all hoping for positive results. Only 11 individuals…
Aloha Athletes ! Congratulations to all who competed in last Saturday’s Triple Trek and also a big mahalo to race directors John and PJ Salmonson and their hard-working volunteers for putting on another wonderful race. There were many great performances. In the men’s race there was winner Josef Gyurke, followed by Nick Kaiser, Harald Ebeling…
I just want to make sure all those who volunteered understand how much us runners appreciated what you did. It was great having Mae Martinez, Cheryl Loomis, and Nanci Gandy staffing the aid stations. I know at the start and finish, Joel & Steff Jenkins were helping out, as was Vanessa Huff. There were probably…
Just a few more things regarding Saturday’s Triple Trek. Sally Skimin set a new record time for women with her time of 5:16. Way to run Sally!! Steve Dewald’s name was somehow not included in yesterday’s results. He finished 6:31:06. Same time as Gil Loomis. Special thanks to the volunteers who ran the aid stations,…
All 32 runners had a great day on the trails and at the BBQ afterwards. Click here to see the results:
Aloha! Ran across a nice article in Hawaiian Airline’s "Hana Ho" magazine when I was coming home from the Kilauea Wilderness run. Here’s a link if you would like to read the article, click here. While out there on the TTT course this weekend, take a moment to reflect on the fact that Na Ala…
A few more familiar names have been added to 2007 HURT 100 entry list. 2006 HURT 100 finishers Cheryl Loomis and David Goggins are two new names added to this update. Click here to see the list. Now is the time to make that commitment and start putting in the base miles to prepare you…
The race is this Saturday. We will be running a slightly different course this year for the 50K. We can no longer start at the bridge by the bathrooms. The Start is right across the street from where we had the picnic in prior years. Once you pass the bathrooms, the course is the same….
Unfortunately more cars were broken into on Saturday morning at the Hawaii Nature Center. This ruined an otherwise beautiful day out on the trails. These punks need to be stopped! Something needs to be done. The last two times I have run there, these creeps have hit. This time, it was one of our own…
There have been a couple of really good write-ups this year by past runners of the HURT 100-Mile Endurance Run posted to the Ultra list. We got permission from the authors to post them on our site because these are so well written that they really read like advertisements or promos for the race. (Click…
Ok, I slept in some this past Saturday and only did about a 90 minute trail run. From what I heard, there was a small group that ran from the Pali Lookout to Waimanalo and back. They reported a great day on the trails and that there is some (New??) fast guy with the intials…
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.
