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…
Hello, I am wondering if there are any willing pacers for the 2011 Hurt100 around? I was slotted in as a replacement this week and as such my pacers can't travel on short notice. I am an average runner looking at a 32-34 hour finish-and looking for whatever help may present itself:) You can respond…
100K over three HURT loops. 5:00PM November 12th to 3:00PM November 13th,2010 Ask and you shall receive is the old saying. It must have been the Oahu trail gods being talked about because they proved quite bountiful in their provision of rain, and mud; the Kane god of mud Kanekelekelekalepo being particularly plenteous. If this…
Aloha Athletes ! Lately, Saturday Training has been a lot like "Gravy All Over"…different starting times, different starting places, which is the "way it is"…everyone has different schedules and lives in different areas of our beautiful island. This Saturday we will continue with our traditional HURT 100 training venue: 6:00 am at the end of…

NBC Sports will be airing a story on Karl Meltzers latest adventure at 3:00 p.m. ET (I think that means 10 a.m. for us). NBC Sports Red Bull Human Express: WOAS hits the road with Red Bull athlete Karl Meltzer as he takes on the legendary Pony Express Route…on foot. The Pony Express served…

The Kalahari Augrabies Extreme Marathon 2010 My adventure began on the 12th October 2010 with an extreme travelthon from Hawaii to South Africa, eventually arriving in Johannesburg 36 hours later. It was at the hotel in Johannesburg that I met Chanleigh and it turned out that her and I were joined at the hip for…
Aloha Athletes ! "Same song…another verse"…Manoa to Jackass repeats…6 am at the end of Manoa Rd. By the way, there is someone who I forgot to thank for helping-out at the Peacock 54…Larry Inouye ! Larry is the very important person who gets permission to use the airfield facility for the race. No permission…no 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.
