Aloha Athletes, This Saturday the lovely Melanie will be leading a run starting from Jackass Ginger (Nu'uanu) at 6:30am. The exact route is to be determined but anticipate running 10 miles or so. For fun, see if you can find the Christmas trees decorated along the way although many of the ornaments have blown off…
Aloha Athletes, Just a quick note to announce that there will not be an organized training run for Saturday November 15th. But if you're signed up for the H.U.R.T. 100 don't take that as a sign to take the day off! The trails of Tantalus await you and are open any time.. Look forward to…
Aloha Athletes: First, I would like to say a big mahalo to those volunteers that worked hard last Sunday with Na Ala Hele to get the trail system into fantastic shape! I was not there, but I know these folks worked very hard: Mike Cole, Augusto Decastro, Steve Clemons, Iris Oshiro, Sandi Kanemori, Jim Masterson,…
Aloha Athletes: Happy Halloween! Is it possible that November is already here? What happened to October? I have a sinking feeling that the next 11 weeks are going to pass by at warp speed and H.U.R.T.100 will be upon us before we know it. Hopefully you will consume enough carbohydrates in the form of candy…
Aloha Athletes: Okay gang, this Saturday marks exactly 12 weeks out from the H.U.R.T. 100-Mile Endurance Run. If you have not started to ramp up your training yet, it is time to put on your big-kid pants and get yourself onto the lovely trails of Tantalus. This Saturday’s training will be Paradise Park to Jack-Ass…

There will be no Friday night camping in park campgrounds. All…
Aloha Athletes: Rosie and Steve are off on an epic adventure, so I am filling in for blog posts for a bit. Big shoes to fill, but I am going to give it my best effort. There will be no organised trail training run for the H.U.R.T. family because so many people are spread around…
Aloha Athletes! Ready for something different? Tapering and want to do shorter mileage the week before Peacock? Come join me at Hau'ula loop trail on Sunday at 8am for as many loops as you'd like to do. Each loop is 2.5 miles, with scenic views of the forest as well as the ocean and valleys….
Aloha Athletes, Huge thanks to (Left to right): Kimo, Josh, Kelly, Judy, Eric, Glen, Bud. Not pictured: Jacque T. and Jeff F.

Aloha Athletes! It's that time again, when the mileage starts getting up in to those crazy digits and we lose entire days and weekends to the pull of the trail. The Peacock Ultramarathons date is approaching quickly, in a mere 3.5 weeks many will be toeing the line to challenge themselves in new and unique…
Aloha Athletes, Yes you heard that right, this Saturday's run will be starting at the extra special hour of 4am! Set those alarms, throw an extra shot of espresso in your coffee, and come romp with us along the moonlit trails for Cheryl's last Peacock run before she leaves for Bend in October. We'l be…
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.
