I placed a new link under Ultra Links on the right hand side of the blog for Sam Musleh’s site: ultraBlog.us He has also placed a link for our blog on his site. Currently there is a good race report on his site from this past weekend’s Massanutten race writen by David Bursler.
As mentioned on the Ultra list, there was a great article in USA Today on ultra running. The article is focused around this past weekend’s Massanutten race, however it has some pretty good information about ultra running in general. Included is a mention about winner, Matthew Estes, and his troubles at the H.U.R.T. 100 in…

The trails around Oahu were a little quieter this past weekend as several H.U.R.T. regulars were on separate but similar "stealth" missions to the Miwok 100K, just North of the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco. This race gets lots of attention as it is a qualifier for the following year’s (2006) Western States 100,…
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.
