I am interested in pacing for someone at/after 6pm on Saturday night. I've completed a 100 mile ultra, DNF'd 2 at 90 and 50 miles and have more 50 milers done than I can count. Experienced night runner. Good sense of humor and flexible in pace. Best suited to someone looking at 26-28 hour finish,…

Aloha Athletes, OK, HURT 100 runners, we are getting close. Down to 37 days before the big run. How many of you have gotten in a couple of 40 mile runs? Are you planning anything longer? I think the longest training run I did for HURT was 50 miles. Back to back long days worked…
Aloha Athletes, OK, if you are entered into the HURT 100 this year, as of today (Wednesday), you have 44 days left before race day. That means you should have some good long training days in the bank already and a few more scheduled. Some look at total miles or trying to get in 30-40…

For another training option, you are welcome to join me for a night loop. Leaving from Manoa / Paradise Park last bus stop by 6:00pm. Option to get water from Nature Center for last leg back. Plan on a comfortable 6-hr pace. I would enjoy the company for some or all. Aloha – Paul (808-497-3911)

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.
