Kara Goucher is the leading female marathoner in the U.S. right now, and will be trying to mix it up with the East Africans in Berlin at Sunday's IAAF World Championships. She talks about adopting a more East African style of training and racing that involves less tracking of miles and pacing and more "enjoyment of the…
Given the recent posts on GPS, this seems timely. Maybe we can draw pictures of pigs….although it'd be hard to run straight lines on the trails. 🙂 http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/20/fashion/20GPS.html If you are prompted for a username/password use hurtguest/hurtpass
Hi Hurt gang! Hey, it's 2 days for the app deadline for Vi's Adventure Trek and Run, and there are only a couple HURT runners signed up so far. I know you all forgot. We can be a little soft on the deadline for HURT runners, if the apps are posted by the weekend- that…
Aloh Na Athletes ! Since we've got official Garmin confirmation that the Trek loops are only 8 miles after all, it's a perfect time to go out this Saturday and do "at least" two loops. I know for a fact that Cheryl, Ernest and Fish will be doing at least two, and if they're doing…

Hey runners, Since there was so much discussion and comment regarding Trek loops last week, Julie Ng was nice enough to send in this link to the Trek route that she mapped out using her Garmin. This is pretty cool and I am all for technology. However the Garmin is wrong. The loops are definitely…
Congrats to all the lucky entrants who made it. The list can be found at HURT 100 Trail Race Good Training, PJ, Jeff & John
Aloha Athletes ! With "The Tantalus Triple Trek" only 3 weeks from this Saturday, it's time to get familiar with the Triple Trek course. For the newbies, it will be the perfect opportunity to experience the course. For the rest of us, we can say "hi" to our old buddies, "roots and rocks". Plan to…
Below is a link to our John Muir Trail adventure including some incredible photos thanks to Erik Herman's amazing talent. Enjoy and laugh a bit. Report from the JMT
As an alternative to Peacock's— I will be running Trek loop(s) in preparation for the not-too-distant Triple Trek. I'll be leaving from the Water Tank Park on Makiki Heights Dr.( Mango Madness Venue) at 7:00 AM. This is a ten mile loop over well known but changed ground. Bring water and energy stuff to stash near Nature Center. …
Aloha Athletes ! After last Saturday's incredibly fun Maunawili Out and Back race, it's almost a let down to get back to business as usual. A BIG thank you to Marian & Neal for a fantastic job of making this race so special…all the way from the hilarious-pig-hype, prior to the race…to the race itself….
Nice article about Vi Jones-Medusky in the MidWeek Aug 5, pg 42.
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.
