I was reading over on John Vonhof’s Happy Feet blog about the Hersey Custom Shoe Company. Pretty cool in today’s mass produced and mass marketed world that there are still people who make a business out of custom made shoes. These are not custom fitted shoes but each shoe is custom made for the buyers…
The list just keeps growing. Apparently a lot of people want to spend a weekend in January out on the trails here in Hawaii. This latest update includes past H.U.R.T. 100 winner, Mike Sweeney. Click here to see the list.
Happy Holidays to everyone! No formal training is planned for this weekend. Some people may be going out on their own or in small groups. Its taper time and also time to relax a bit and enjoy family and friends. The trails remain dry! Be safe out there and good training! Aloha, Bob
I hope you were lucky enough to get out on the trails over the last couple of days. I got in 60 miles over two days on the driest trails we have had in a long time. Saturday the H.U.R.T. course was in awesome shape. Had the race been run over the last two days,…
We’re just a month away from the race and (click) here is the latest entrant list as of 12/15/05. Some new names, some familiar names, and …??? Should be a great race this year! Aloha, Bob
If information about the trail I’m about to describe s supposed to be secretive, any of the Tantalus veterans out there should feel free to pull this off the blog. I don’t want to spill any inadvertently spill any beans. If not, read on…. Yesterday, I went out on the trails with the intention of…
Kat has posted some pictures that Rex took at two recent marathons. You can see photos from the Honolulu Marathon and also the Marine Corp Marathon. The Marine Corp Marathon was in the Washington DC area. Thanks Rex and Kat!!
Good News! This morning, Judge Kevin Chang presided over citizenship ceremonies for 64 people from many different countries. Filiesha LeRand, one of our local trail divas, has officially become an American citizen. It was certainly a long process for her but well worth the effort. All went well until we tried to enter the courtroom……
Aloha Athletes ! Dryer than expected trails and cool breezes greeted our small band of up-beat non-Honolulu Marathoners on Saturday on the Maunawili Trail. It was an enjoyable day of HURT-style comraderie. Big thanks to Rex for providing the stash and to Bob McAllaster for some awesome cookies for the finish. Congratulations to all that…
Aloha Athletes ! With Sunday being the Honolulu Marathon, only the die-hard ultrarunners who are seriously training for the HURT 100 will likely be joining us for Saturday Training. However, we have a nice training run planned on the Maunawil Trail. Join us for all or part…it will be fun. A big mahalo to Rex…
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.
