Happy New Year Athletes, Just a quick head's up: Let's plan a fun run the week before HURT 10 by doing a reverse trek loop. We will start from the Nature Center at a leisurely 7:00 a.m. Come on out, runners, pacers, and volunteers.
Added four gallons to the stash at Jackass. This should last for the week given the likely high usage level. Paradise may need a few gals, but right now the combined donations are at about 4 gallons. NC is getting pretty dry as far as stashed water. May try and do that one tomorrow. (all stashes…
Every year someone develops their secret training regimen for HURT. One year it was Matt Stevens running Kailua beach dragging a kayak behind him. Check out the skinny blades on their feet. I am not convinced this strategy will work.
With the 2010 event just around the corner, I am trying to remember all the lessons learned (and promptly forgotten) in the past couple of years. What comes out as critical for me is not the elusive 60-mile training run in December, or even the right shoes – my #1 concern is nutrition. So here…
Aloha Runners, We have assigned the bib numbers for the event. You can find the 2010 H.U.R.T. Bib Number list here Aloha, John, PJ, & Jeff

It looks like we'll be having internet connections at the aid stations during this years' HURT 100. Because of this, we should be able to get onto Google Docs and have instant runner updates available on the web foro anyone wanting to take a look. Also, I'm planning on setting up a webcam over at…
I know that many of you are very focused on January 16 and I wish all HURT 100 entrants the best in their upcoming race. Recently, I have had several inquiries regarding the 2010 Sweetheart's South Loop, and I have decided to post information now so that folks are able to fit this FUN event…
I found a little article in the Honolulu Advertiser about Paul Sibley's quest to raise awareness for the Hawaii Children's Cancer Foundation http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/20091221/BREAKING04/91221048?source=rss_twitter

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.
