I'm ruminating. Which means I am not trying to sell anything except a hard time. And I usually just give that away. But I'm bothered by the recent slew of bare foot running articles by people who don't seem to know their feet from their anal sphincter. The most recent article was about Kenyan runners who…

We want to say a big Mahalo to Heather McCafferty for the beautiful leis she hand-crafted and gave out at the awards dinner. Wow!! Thank you Heather!!!
As many of you saw at the dinner on Monday, Peter Daspit got some great photos during the race this past weekend. From Peter: "If folks want the original 4 mb files resolution files for some nefarious purpose, or if they have something else I can help them out with, or just want to tell…
First, the wallet Happy ending!Ryan Seto looked in his bag after the dinner, and found the missing wallet. He called me at 11:30 (we were still up, unwinding), so I gave him the owner's phone number, and we left a message for the owner too.Long story short, Ryan spoke to the owner and drove his…
Aloha Athletes ! I was asking Cheryl what was going on this Saturday, especially after the dust has barely settled after the 2010 HURT 100, and to my surprise she said: "everybody's talking about Peacock". About all I could come-up to say in response to that was "no foolin'?". So, no foolin', it's the Dillingham…
My friends, Many of you know about Kelli and her fight against cancer. She recently completed a very aggressive chemotherapy regime that left her very sick for several weeks. Last week Tuesday, just before HURT, she had surgery. Kelli promised me that she would see me run HURT. Given the pain that she still has…
I'd like to add another "mahalo nui" to a party that has not been mentioned yet, but surely has not been forgotten by anyone who has been out on the course recently, and that's our friends from the DLNR. Fred, Aaron, and the team did a stunning job this year clearing the trails and removing…
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.
