Aloha Athletes ! With just over 2 months before the 2006 Haleakala Run to the Sun, and with reports that this may in fact be the last year (gasp) for this great event, I’d suggest getting your application in now and start making your travel arrangements. If you feel that you won’t be ready to…

aloha everybody, Congrats to everybody on a great HURT 100 race, both to runners, vol’s, etc. Jeff Huff and I were discussing a possible training weekend on Maui after the Run to the Sun. Because Jeff is looking into Hardrock, we were thinking of trying to get some altitude training in near the summit. I’m…
Davey Crockett posted a great HURT race report on the Ultra list and he gave me permission to link it here. It includes photos and times and is very well written. Click here to read his report.
Little known is the efforts of a few very very tired friends, who stuck around right after the race, and then came to the Nature Center the morning after, to deal with the aftermath of the mess we created there. I’m talking about Mike and Patricia, Joel and Stephanie, and the Huffer, who swept, mopped…
Aloha! As we sit licking our wounds from HURT VI, just want to let interested HURT runners know that there will be early registration for the 34th Honolulu Marathon in December. Hawaii residents and active-duty military stationed in Hawaii can get a $15.00 entry fee between this Saturday, 21 January and Sunday 29 January, 2006. …
I have some video clips that were taken during the race. Some show parts of the trail and aid stations and others are interviews with either runners or pacers. These were shot with a Treo–basically a phone, so the quality is not professional but they are still fun to view. Click here for the link….

Aloha ! Utah’s Karl Meltzer continued his recent dominace of many of the tough mountain 100’s by winning the HURT 100 Trail Endurance Run in the record-breaking time of 22:16. Karl, known for his intense, focused running style and quick aid station transitions, was relaxed, smiling, and even cracked an occasional witty one-liner on the…
I am posting the final-final results from the 2006 H.U.R.T. 100. It was a great race overall with ideal conditions and fantastic competition. I think everyone had a great time at the dinner last night–a fun way to end the weekend. If you have photo’s from the race, please send them to me at kailuamac@yahoo.com…
The unofficial results are now posted. Click here to see them. It’s nice to see that people were using this as a way to check results throughout the race. We will continue to look at ways to improve this service for future races.
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.
