Aloha Athletes, We are going to be heading to the Makiki-Tantalus trail system this week. With the Mango Madness race coming up, it is time to get in a practice loop. Meet at the pumping station (also the start for Mango Madness), at 6:00 a.m. on Saturday. This is right near the corner of Makiki…
I believe we have seen something remarkable during the last two weeks. Others unfamiliar with the circumstances might just have expected it as matter or course, or feel entitled to critique events with no knowledge of the facts or without making any relevant contribution to aid in ending this tragic situation. But it is something…

Are's parents and family have requested that all volunteers involved in the search and recovery of their son meet at the parking area behind Dillingham Air Tower at Noon on Sunday. They would like to thank everyone at this time and it will give all of us some time for closure.
Not to detract from the important post on Are, just wanted to post on my hot, humid Louisiana run tomorrow. You can follow along via CancerRunner. Summary below:
It was back in the 1930's I believe, when an ad man came upon a great idea to promote his product. He got a crowd of women together and handed out his product and got them to walk down 5th Avenue in New York City while using it. He took pictures of it, got some…
Are's friends have set up the following web site to aid in the search for him. http://findare.blogspot.com/ This site contains a detailed map we have shared with them on the route and locations leading up to when Are went missing. The search is continuing as I write this. We have made contact with a pig…

Aloha Athletes, This is hard to write this however I want all of you to know what has been going on the last few days. As many of you by now know, Are was out running with us on Saturday up at Peacock Flats. We left to head up Kealia Trail and wanted to get…

Aloha Athletes, A couple of options this weekend. Saturday, we are heading back up to Peacock Flats. Meet behind Dillingham Air Tower at 6:30 a.m. for a day of training in the hills. The weather is supposed to clear by this weekend and it has been getting warmer so don't forget your electrolytes. On Sunday,…
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.
