Thank you, for the inspiration. Thursday night, I knocked out a 50km run, from Waipahu up to Schofield Barracks and up Kolekole pass, before heading home. I would not have even considered it without having spent the year reading your tales and talking story at the events and random encounters out there on the trails. …
Even for the trail/ultra die-hards out there who shun the roads and any distance less than a 100 miles, you have to watch the last 3 minutes of today's Chicago Marathon. Entered in the race were no less than 4 guys who had PR's in the 2:05's, all between the ages of 20-23. Wanjiru, the…

Aloha Athletes, Well with just a couple of weeks to go before the Peacock 54 on October 23, we are again planning another training day up at Peacock. Don't forget, there is a relay option for this race. Get a partner and run 27 miles each. Since water is an issue (there is none up…
I was told there's no water up at Peacock, so I tried to drop water this morning, but didn't have a hiking permit. I thought I'd be able to get there with a military ID, but the gate guard said no.You can only get a permit once every month, and since I have a permit for…
My buddy Jack ran the KuSuH Trail 100 last weekend. Great write up, great photos. Not many long races in Germany, and this was by invitation only. From his write-up, it sounds like Jack had a hell of a time. And from the photos, it looks like some awesome trail running. I kepp telling Jack…

Aloha Athletes, Back to Peacock this week. Hope it is as nice as it was this past week. Normal start will be at 6:45 again, in the parking lot behind the control tower at Dillingham Airfield. If you are thinking about starting earlier, well you know who you are, where to meet and who to…
This Sunday, October 3rd, a group of us will be meeting at the Dillingham Airfield at 8:30am to run Kaena Point out & back with Heather Howells for her 'final' training run before she leaves for her 7 day, 250km/155m race in the Kalahari Desert in southern Africa, an adventure that she will be undertaking…
I know this blog is for posts about ultrarunning, and I think winning two back-to-back races in the same weekend must somehow qualify. This is Matt's wife, Lesley, and I just wanted to share some pictures and stories of Matt's exceptional weekend. I'm super proud of him! We went over to Maui for our third…
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.
