This past Saturday I volunteered to be the aid station at the Pali Lookout for the group running from Kailua to the Nature Center and back–a long 40+ mile day. (Having done this run last August, I know how long the day is!) I was told to expect the group around 2:00 p.m. so I…
I am writing this post for the 11 regular readers of this site so please pass the word. There has been a rumor–in fact more than a rumor, that famous ultra runner and co-race director for the "Top of Tantalus" run, Bob Murphy will be leaving the islands later this year. Now I know, once…
Bob Murphy sent me a link to an article about H.U.R.T. 100 Finisher, David Goggins and his quest to run Badwater and to do it as a charity. Click here to read the full article in the Navy Compass.

We will still be meeting at Pali Lookout and starting at 6:00 am, but will be running down Old Pali Highway to Hoomaluhia Garden (instead of over to Waimanalo). We are all sick of running…
Aloha Athletes ! Gordon went to get the parking permits for the Peacock Flats training run, scheduled for April 8 and was told that due to the extensive rains, permits were not being issued at this time. It seems that the City and County feels the area is overly dangerous at this time and any…

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.
