Aloha Athletes ! Hopefully you have recovered from a wonderful 4th of July Holiday and from the fantastic, (record-breaking turnout) race at the Kaena Point Firecracker 10 Miler last Saturday.

What a race! This was my first time at Western States and my first long run since cancer. So both milestones in one venue. I saw so many HURT runners and friends in Squaw Valley, and they were all so interested in my recovery. That was so cool. I headed to WS to pace my…

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.
