Got the rare opportunity (or excuse) to hit the trails on a Monday morning as Barbi was scheduled to not start work until this afternoon. We went out and ran the course for this coming Saturday’s Top of Tantalus trail race. This is the first in the 2005 H.U.R.T. trail series. Click here for more…
The inaguaral Arizona Ironman triathlon was this past Saturday, (4/9/05) and H.U.R.T. members (past and present plus friends of H.U.R.T. members) did well. Steve Dewald completed the race in 11:49.01. Showing his H.U.R.T. legs, Steve ran a 4:15.45 marathon to end the race. Wow! Congratualtions and way to go Steve!! Other times: Collette Haney: 12:15.12…
Howdy! Just a quick trail report: we ran Maunawili out and back this Saturday. The trail is in very good condition – lots of water is overflowing the tank, so you can cool off on the way back up to Pali. There are some newly downed trees that you will have to scamper around/under. One…
Top of Tanalus, 7 mile Trail Race is the first race in the 2005 series. These trail series races are a great way to introduce someone to trail running, so invite a friend out. The race starts at 7:00 a.m. Please show up a bit early on the day of the race to register. No…
Race results from what sounds like a challenging Run to the Sun are now posted here. Congratulations to all the participants! Since I was not at the race, anyone have a race report they would like to post? Let me know and we will get it posted here.
Just wanted to let you know that Dean K. and Pam R. are both supposed to be featured on the CBS show, 60 Minutes Sunday, 3/27. Pam is attempting her 300 mile run this weekend and could attempt to finish her run during the time the show airs.
I have posted Start/Finish information for the first couple of races under the Upcoming Races section on this blog. With the first Trail Series race exactly one month away, on April 16th, I wanted to get this up for everyone. Off to British Columbia, Canada in a few hours, visiting family, also skiing and snowboarding….
Aloha Trail Runners, Thought you might be interested in this post from Aaron Lowe: "As you may have heard or seen in the news, Magnum Tours has been fined by the DLNR $2,500.00 for illegal tour operations on the Manoa Falls Trail. While the Department sees this as a great success, we are still concerned…
Aloha Athletes ! Last Saturday’s training was wet…very wet ! Thanks to Todd & Cheryl for providing some great food, and to the large, fun group for braving the elements. PJ’s training schedule has us down for our final taper before Run to the Sun, so here’s the plan: Saturday March 19, 2005 "Tantalus Loop…
Aloha Athletes ! (Posted by Bob as we’re having some author posting typepad technical issues) Sorry to get this to you so late. Computer problems. Last Saturday’s Run to the Sun training was tough, but thanks to Rex it was made easier by his driving us down from the top on 3 Tantalus loops….
Contributed by Jeffery Rogers I had the pleasure of running the Kalalau Trail on Friday, March 4. For those who aren’t familiar with the trail, it provides the only land access to the rugged Na Pali coast on the Hawaii island of Kauai. Its 11 miles traverse five tropical valleys each with an exquisite waterfall,…
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.
