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…

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…

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,…

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.
