Aloha Athletes, This is kinda starting to sound like a broken record. There really are more trails on Oahu than Peacock and the Makiki/Tantalus trail system. We used to run them! (???) In any case, here are the options for Saturday up at Peacock. 7:00 a.m. when the gate opens in the parking lot behind…

Aloha Athletes ! Looks like we are back to training as usual after a short break to follow Mikey around Oahu on his Perimeter 135 mile adventure. It was a gas ! We need to coin a new phrase for "tough", as "tough as a boot" or "tough as nails" just doesn't cut it, when…
I adapted Bruddah Iz's song in tribute to Mike for all his recent mind bobbling adventures: The HURT Superman Told is the tale of the mischievous one Who ran around the island and made it look fun His deeds and tasks I will unmask, so that you'll understand That before there was a Clark Kent,…

Seeing the smiles on faces of a bunch of ultrarunners who are out torturing themselves for…
Julie Ng sent in a couple of photos of the group running along Ala Moana Blvd by Ala Moana Park. Also starting early Saturday morning, Cheryl, Jan, and Julie T. hoping to catch the boys and offer some aid and support along the way.
In about 60 minutes two runners are departing from Aloha Tower, Paul Sibley and Mike Muench are heading out on a little jaunt, a circle isle tour-135 miles on foot. They will have some support and a few runners joining them for parts of the run but it is up to each of them to…

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.
