On Friday November 9, health permitting, I, Mikem, will be heading out on another birthday run. Last year I let the Peacock 100K function the dual purpose of race and birthday run. This year’s Tsunami edition limits my ability to revisit that artifice, and I find myself forced to actually run a birthday run, which…
All: Everything "found" at the Peacock race has been left at Runners-Hi. If you lost something, please check there. If you still can't find it, it's probably been sacrificed to the trail gods. If you still haven't received a finishers visor or t-shirt, please e-mail me. I'll try to get everything sent out this week if possible….
Aloha Athletes, With Peacock behind us, it is time to look ahead. For many, it is time to start thinking HURT 100. Of course not everyone that reads this site or comes here for running opportunities is entered into the HURT 100. Others out there might be focused on the Xterra Trail World Championships at…
Aloha Athletes, 2012 Peacock 100k Results 2012 Peacock 50k Results We’d like to congratulate everyone who toed the line this weekend. This is a very difficult race, and most of you trained extremely hard. Unfortunately, we had to make some very hard decisions in a very short span of time. I hope all of the runners we…
Aloha Athletes, Something different this weekend. We are planning a hunting expedition up at Peacock Flats. Guaranteed large game sightings. Gordon has sanctioned this event and will be providing guidance and any last minutes supplies. Being the smart hunter he is, Gordan has delegated most of the details to people like Rob, Larry, Cheryl, Joel and…
Only NINE days left to submit your (or your Mom's, Dad's, Aunty's, or Uncle's) best recipes for the HURT cookbook. Any and all recipes are needed and welcomed.

Aloha Athletes, For a change of pace and by popular demand, we are going to do a hike on the Lanipo Trail led by Gordon this week. Meet at the trail head at 6:45 a.m. Please allow enough time to drive to the trail head as it is at the top Wilhelmina Rise. Essentially drive…
Got permission late last night for a night loop tonight. Leaving PP bus stop by 5pm and going for a nice jog into the night. Nothing too crazy with a resupply using the NC fountains. Any takers trying to get away from Peacock Flats just show up and bring some good jokes and stories. 20…
Aloha Athletes, Are you ready for cooler weather? As I mentioned last week, back to Peacock again Saturday. 6:00 a.m. start from the parking lot behind the Dillingham Airfield Tower. Again, there will probably be a group starting from the base of Long Road at 4:30 a.m. Gordon is planning another hike for October 20th….
Looking for one or more persons who are available to HIKE a REVERSE Gordon’s Loop and Are’s Loop. Guessing that’s about 19 miles. Disclaimer: This probably won’t be much of a “training run” since I’m planning to hike it backwards as I scout out shooting locations for the upcoming race. Though, for some of us,…
(Click on image and enlarge it. You should be able to pan back and forth. Where was this taken?) Aloha Athletes, As the Peacock race is fast approaching, this weekend is just about your last chance to put in long miles or time on your feet. Make sure you have worked out your hydration and…
Aloha HURT ohana! Do you have a favorite recipe? Do you make one or two dishes that receive rave reviews every time you take them to a potluck? If so, then please consider contributing them to the very first H.U.R.T. cookbook. Cheryl and I are finally going to put together a cookbook with some of…
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.
