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…
Aloha Everyone ! Wow ! The 10th Anniversary of the HURT 100 is history. Where did the time go? Jeff and John put on a super post-race program last night that provided lots of laughs and really gave our Canadian friends some well-deserved roasting. I'd like to personally thank some special people from behind the…
Another year and even more smiles than the last. Stories were amassed, new friendships forged and old friends reunited for what is truly a world class event. A special mahalo to all those who put this legendary event together from those marking the trails, taking care of permits, all the communications, the unforeseen logistics and…
Runners, We are making progress on the missing wallet. A volunteer saw the wallet on the concrete pad at the Nature center next to a very large black duffel bag with open pockets on race morning. Thinking the wallet was from the open pockets the wallet was placed into the bag and bag zipped up….
Aloha Runners, What a weekend. Results will be coming, but just as important we have a mainland runner, Dennis Cook whose wallet is missing from a drop bag that was placed at the Nature Center during the HURT 100. We ask you to go through your personal drop bags to see if somehow his wallet…
Murphy has a bit more than finishing the race weighing on his chest. Here are a few more shots from the meeting. http://tinyurl.com/ydwuej9 Enjoy. Mikem
Is there a race coming up soon???
For runner updates during the HURT 100, please go to the HURT 100 web site. We are trying a new system this year and hope to update runner status throughout the race. Please keep in mind the system is some what limited by the remoteness of two of the three aid stations. We will do…
Aloha Runners, Are you folks ready for the "Run(ble) in the Jungle"? As your race volunteers put on the finishing touches to what promises to be a very exciting weekend we would like to remind you of the following: We will be using Succeed Ultra as your electrolyte drink at the event. The runner check…
Kinda like Run to the Sun ….Sort of. Some runners from the mainland are interested in getting out of the frigid cold so… To be accommodating to our visitors we came up with Saturday March 6th. So it will be a TOTALLY UNOFFICIAL event, you'll be responsible for your own transport, park entry fee, nutritional…
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.
