We both want to extend a huge Mahalo to all the runners and volunteers that made the day such an amazing success! It was a hot day out there, especially going through the exposed rocky section near the start/finish, but there was shade and an occasional breeze along the upper stretch of Kealia trail to help out. For race results and photos, please read on… Oh! and a new course record was set.

It takes a village. Especially with a race like this. I need people at the start/finish, to manage an aid station, and days before to help clear and mark trails. The route is new every year, so I also rely on course marshals to move our athletes through the course. I want to thank so many volunteers for their help in pulling it all off.
The race will start/finish at Archie Baker Mini Park. Please be aware that there is construction on the left side of the park. We will set up on the right side, fronting Round Top Drive. There is no course map. The course changes every year and is a secret. Enjoy the adventure and listen to your course marshals. Read on for check-in times and other details.
There’s still more work to be done on Maunawili trails. Please volunteers to cut down overgrowth of vegetation on May 28, 2022.

Congratulations to the 104 finishers of the 2022 Vi’s Top of Tantalus 7 mile trail race. The weather was perfect, the views were spectacular and the best trails on Tantalus did not disappoint.

Aloha, racers! We’re very excited to see you all for Saturday’s 7 mile race on the beautiful trails of Tantalus! Please review the following carefully. We are looking forward to an enjoyable and safe race!
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.
