Aloha Athletes: Start your Cinco de Mayo day off right with a trail run! The HURT Trail Series race will get your heart pounding with a nice climb up the road before continuing the climb up the trail. Hey, we wouldn't want it to be easy right? Race Start is 7:00 a.m. Distance: 8 miles…
Aloha Athletes, Last Saturday's run sounded like it was really fun. Some surprise runners–who helped everyone learn–just because you are fast, doesn't help you finish first if you don't know the route. In any case, back for another week of fun and to help everyone learn the route, another training day out on the Run…
Hi all, I thought of tapping into the collective wisdom of the HURT population to get some suggestions and/or advice on good running hydration backpacks and vests. Also where to get said packs. Thank you all for your opinions, Mark Speck.
Aloha Athletes, Well based on some comments I saw, Peacock was beautiful this past Saturday. Hope to make it up there sometime soon. This week though we are heading to do a preview of the course for the next HURT Trail Series race in May. The Run with a View course is a fun and…
Aloha Athletes, Cheryl says back to Peacock this week. Meeting at the parking area behind the Dillingham Airfield control tower. Start time will be 6:30 a.m. It is starting to warm up so make sure you take some type of electrolytes and your sunscreen. Plan on taking with you at least 60 oz. of water/hydration….
Aloha Athletes, Here are top three men and women from this past Saturday's race. Thanks to Enjoy for the baskets! I think getting photos of top three should be a new tradition. Aloha, Bob
Aloha Athletes, Well it looks like I really missed out on some fun this morning at the HURT Trail Series race. For those of you that were there–as usual the HURT races finish with quite a spread of food. From what I have seen in some photos–there seems to have been an Easter theme. The…
Aloha Athletes, It is time for the next trail race in the HURT Trail Series for 2012. This race gets us back on the trails of Makiki/Tantalus. Please allow enough time to drive to the start. Note the 8:00 a.m. start time. As with all trail series races, there is no pre-registration–show up 30-45 minutes…
Aloha Athletes, This past weekend the The Barkley Marathons took place. Runners can choose between the 60-mile fun run or the whole enchilada–the Barkley 100-mile run. Someone tweeted over the weekend that 12 men had been on the moon and only 10 had ever finished the Barkley 100. Well that number has changed a bit…

Folks, We are in need of images from the HURT course for a publication about The Most Challenging Races in the World. I received the e mail this morning with a deadline of tomorrow to submit said images. Unfortunately, photographers will not be paid for the usage of the photograph. If you have an image…
Aloha Athletes, First, I want to thank those who commented after last week's post. Always nice to know that there are more than 3 people that read what is posted here and we appreciate the feedback. This week, Cheryl and Kat are going to lead a training run for the Top of Tantalus race. Cheryl…
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.
