2007 Trail Series

(Mike Minch coughs, gags, and stumbles his way through 11 hours of insanity) I hate Paul Hopwood.  The guy passed me so many times during Saturday’s Twelve Hour Endurance Run that I could have sworn he was hiding in the bushes and letting me stumble by so he could rocket man by me again and…

Anyone participating in the 12 hour needs to know that we hope the gate will be open for us at 5:00 am. Aaron hasn’t said anything about our parking situation, but it may have eased a bit since TTT. Nonetheless, if you can park outside of the first gate, that would help. Otherwise, go to…

(I added a few more photo’s on Monday from PJ) Yesterday’s race was held under slightly damp conditions. OK, it was wet and muddy. Though the sun was out at the finish! I thought it might be a wet race when on Friday morning driving to work, it poured down rain so hard I could…

This year we were granted the privilege of having the Permit process waived. (VERY IMPORTANT) This was based on our smaller numbers (we eliminated the 10 mile race from this event) and our promise that we would get everyone parked outside of the Nature Center (on Makiki Heights Street, including down by the Board of…

The Tantalus Triple Trek is September 1. This race is part of the H.U.R.T. Trail Series and is one of the best runs in the series. It’s three loops and as I like to describe it, 5 miles up and 5 miles down. It’s the only race I know of that you get to run…

PJ took photos at the race finish this past Saturday. Thanks PJ. Click here to view.

Not only did he come in 1st place, he also takes great photo’s. Thanks Jozef!! These fit nicely with the great story Mike Muench wrote. Thanks Mike. And what about that Ed Bugarin? He keeps getting faster and more fit. What’s his secret? Click here to see the photos! Thanks again to Neal & Marian…

The air was warm and heavy with moisture even at 7:00 am as we all stood in grass just back from the Pali Overlook. Modern day warriors, men and women of Oahu, coming together in the killing grounds of the last great Hawaiian battlefield, waiting for the race stages to move out. Each filtering down…

Thanks to Neal and Marian Yasuda for directing a great race on Saturday. Everyone had fun and they had excellent post-race food. Again, lots of new faces who are fast runners showing up at these trails races. Jozef Gyrurke won the men’s race and Julie Dohenney won the woman’s individual race. On the relay side,…

Today’s Kaena Point Firecracker 10 Mile Race was held under beautiful conditions–sunny blue sky, gorgeous ocean views, and great trail conditions. Special thanks to everyone who came out and participated and to those who supported the participants. A big Mahalo to Joel Jenkins for running the turn-around aid station. The post race potluck was enjoyed…
