Aloha Athletes ! Well boys and girls there's something like 4 weeks from this Saturday until the running of the 11th annual HURT 100 Mile Trail Endurance Run, so THIS WEEKEND should be about your last shot at a long training run. Some people say "aw, a couple of HURT loops should do it", but…
Aloha Athletes, I just learned of this great deal and wanted to pass it on. I go back and forth between using technology like this and not using it. I also realize there are lots of competitive products and review sites out there. I learned of this most recent deal from DC Rainmaker and a…

The Ultraman World Championships was indeed the cap on my incredible racing career. It is difficult for me to put into words the experience I went thru, circumnavigating the Big Island by swim, bike and run….320 miles in 3 days with a 12 hour cut-off for each day.This was not a "race"….it was all about…
Aloha Athletes ! Thanks for the comments on last Saturday's training post. It's nice to know that some of you are interested. I hope a few of you can help new guy Brandt get familiar with HURT hospitality and comraderie. It's still alive. This Saturday, I've been told by Cheryl that the place to be is at…
Aloha Athletes, We know Monica Scholz as one of the runners who has completed every HURT 100. She also has run 100 mile runs all over North America. This year she broke her own record of 23 100-mile runs in a year and set a new world record by running 25 100-mile runs in one…
Aloha Athletes ! I have no earthly idea where everybody will be training this weekend…hopefully you do. I know that Anne from Alaska will be here Saturday and Cheryl and Julie T. are planning on showing her the Peacock trails. On Sunday morning, she will likely be on the HURT course. Sorry to not be…
This past weekend while many of us were enjoying Thanksgiving and all the leftovers, Black Friday and other Christmas shopping adventures or maybe even doing something crazy like Hogsback repeats all night long, Wendy Minor was out doing Ultraman. She had a terrific Ultraman support crew of Gil and Cheryl Loomis and Steve and Jakob Dewald….

Aloha Runners, By now most of you are into your hard core training for the 2011 H.U.R.T.100. We are very excited about what is shaping up to be an incredible race. We hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving. The November 15, 2010 date to withdraw from the race with a partial refund has passed….
I went to run/trek around Annapurna for a couple of weeks earlier in the month to kick off my HURT training. I was initially looking into various ultras and stage-races in the area which take place at this time of year, but the fees are high so I thought I would just go and explore…
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.
