The Madness Series Continues…. Most newer HURT runners have never had the pleasure of attempting the Run to the Sun, a classic Hawaii Event doomed by the anal retentive feds in their attempt to limit use of public lands to all but the most car bound. It is no longer an event, but simply a…
Aloha Athletes, A huge turnout of 450 teams lined up to hit the mud this morning on the Marine base. From this spectator's eye, it appeared the course was much wetter this year, possibly due to all the recent rain. Though I think all had fun, I did hear some complaints about the course not…

Aloha Athletes ! This Saturday is Swamp Romp. Although I've "never been there…never done that", I've certainly heard many, many tales, and seen lots and lots of photos. I guess the name: "the Worlds biggest wet t-shirt event" is too long. Anyway, it seems there's something for everybody, regardless of whether you are a muddy participant…there…

Aloha Athletes ! Due to unrelentless feminine baggering, it looks like we are back to Peacock this Saturday. Okay, I admit that I love Peacock too, well, other than the two hours of driving that it requires, but it's always a great workout. The plan is to start at the bottom in the parking lot…
Aloha All ! Hopefully all of you will be taking advantage of Marian and Neal's wonderful hospitality and plan to do the totally fun Sweetheart's 50 on Saturday evening. It's a blast ! For those of us few poor souls who are looking for something to do on Saturday morning, another boring Tantalus Rd. will be…
If anyone is interested in running somewhere new…and awesome…come join us on the North Shore this Saturday. There is an area that we have been developing trails above the surf breaks of the North Shore. It's mostly in the shade, and there are some awesome views. It's almost entirely single track with a couple 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.
