Aloha Athletes, This Saturday we'll be doing something new! Come join us on the Waimano Trail starting at 6am. The course was previewed last weekend and the trail is very run-able. Be sure to bring water, snacks and a hand held light for the tunnels at the end. From the parking across the Pearl City…
Aloha Athletes! For those of you who are itching to begin H.U.R.T. 100 training (only 86 days to go!) and don't need a week of recovery after Peacock, Cheryl will be leading a trek loop run around Tantalus. If you aren't familiar with the location, you can find it on the map here: http://tinyurl.com/2dmhlfk Plan…
Aloha Athletes, This is a call for volunteers to lead the H.U.R.T. Saturday runs. This is your chance to be a lead and take the group to that trail you’ve always wanted to run (or hike). Any distance and any pace are absolutely fine. We typically see the largest turnout when we are branching out…
This weekend will mark the 6th running of the Peacock Ultramarathons! I'm amazed when I think back to the first Peacock 54 (or was it 56?). We had a total of 17 finishers who slid and sloshed through mid-shin deep mud for up to 17+ hours. I still have dents and scratches on my truck from when I…
Aloha Peacock Runners, I am planning to do my last training run via the Makai loop from Kealia (approximately 14.50 miles). This will be my only second attempt at this loop, but I think I can manage and complete the loop successfully. Anyone out there who’d like to join me on Friday October 11th at…
Aloha Athletes, Last week we mentioned that in lieu of an official run, many of us will be attending the Celebration of the Life of George Ramos Jr. For those who will be paddling out, if you are able to please bring a lei or flowers to scatter at the same time we scatter the…
Aloha Athletes, Jeff and Cheryl have been hard at work coordinating a trail work day on the Aiea Loop Trail (with DLNR's permission of course). Join H.U.R.T. and spend a morning giving back to the trails that give us so much in return. Please rsvp to Jeff if you would like to attend at: jwkfong…
Aloha Athletes, Well, it's almost here…Peacock 100k is just over 2 weeks away. Before we hang up our shoes, kick back and relax in to our tapers with a pumpkin ale content in the knowledge that we've gotten in all the necessary miles and are ready to go, we've got one last training run to…
Aloha Athletes, Last week we had a HUGE turnout to welcome Gary and Linda back to the islands for their honeymoon run. I believe just about every stall in the parking lot was taken and we even had our own on-course paparazzi jumping out from behind various mountains and bushes…thanks Robert Smith for coming out…
Congratulations are in order for two of our H.U.R.T. family members. Today, Johnny & Mieko welcomed their new baby girl, Mariko, in to the world at 6lb 10oz. Future ultra running champion? I'm betting on it. I know I'm speaking for everyone when I say that we can't wait to meet her!!
George Ramos 1952 – 2013 As some of you may have heard over the coconut wireless, we’ve lost another member of our HURT Ohana. It is with a heavy heart that I tell you that our dear friend, George Ramos. lost his battle with cancer on September 13. He was an…
Aloha Athletes, We are headed back to the North Shore this weekend. Be ready to go for a 6:00 a.m. start from the parking area behind the Control Tower at Dillingham Airfield. It's looking like we'll do between 12-15 miles. If anyone wants to run longer or is looking for company please post here. We're…
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.
