Aloha Athletes ! Great athlete and Hurtpal Darin Mingo almost was able to sneak by all the fanfare and complete the Kona Ironman unnoticed by all his friends at HURT. This may have been because Darin was slightly ahead of all the other HURT runners and posted the great finishing time of 11:21:08 !! Congratulations…
This past weekend saw 19 participants toe-the-line for the annual H.U.R.T. 12-hour run. Conditions seemed ideal with a nice sunny day and good breeze, however the trail was really wet and muddy in spots. Some of us begged off with other commitments, while others persevered the full 12 hours. Click here for the results. Congratulations…

I have been running in the Montrail Highline recently as have a few other regular H.U.R.T. runners. The shoe has been working great for…

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.
