Cascade Crest 100 Mile Endurance RunEaston, WA 8.23.08 Soon after returning from running the HURT 100K in January, I started thinking about running a 100 miler this summer. Western States was my first 100 miler in 2007 and I was itching to do another. There are so many beautiful mountain races that I would love…
Some people might view the Hawaiian Ultra Running Team (H.U.R.T.) as a committed group of long-distance runners and that is true. I’ve been active with the H.U.R.T. group since 2002 though I have known of H.U.R.T. and John Salmonson for over 20 years. What I have learned is that H.U.R.T. is much more than a…
Happy Birthday to Cheryl !! We all know her as someone who does it all. She trains and trains probably more consistently and frequently than most of us. She is always there to lend a hand, help a new runner out, support an old and tired runner, you name it. She cooks and makes great…
We posted earlier about Vi’s Adventure Trek and Run. Here’s some photos of Vi and crew out training for the run. Click on any of the photo’s to enlarge them.
Aloha I just got this months issue of Ultrarunning and as I was flipping through I came to page 55. There they were, a picture of Mike Garcia and Patricia Carroll out running the Squaw Peak Trail Run (50 miles). They came in 16:48. A job well done you make me proud. Can’t wait to…
The recognition comes a little late but Runner’s World has finally become aware of local talent. Here’s page 33 of the Aug 2008 issue of RW, featuring prominently Paul Hopwood! Note sneaky Dean Karnazes (on far left) trying to catch a little of the glory too… 🙂 (Marathon #18 in Dean’s North Face Endurance 50…
A picture doesn’t lie but there are two sides to this story. The characters, Big John, Vernon, and Barbi. Barbi’s version: "I am not a swimmer but yet I find myself at Ala Moana swimming meter after meter in training for the Mountain Man and Xterra off road triathlon. I am minding my own business…
Past H.U.R.T. 100 winner Karl Meltzer has posted his Hardrock 100 Winner’s odd’s here. Karl has gotten into the habit of posting these prior to any of the big races. He’s pretty good at this and it makes entertaining reading. Be sure to read all the comments. They are fun too and also provide a…
Aloha Athletes, Paul Hopwood of Maui was the one lucky resident of Hawaii to get into the Hardrock 100 Endurance Run. The photo at the left shows Paul at the top of Haleakala for an early morning training run. This race takes place in mountains of southwestern Colorado with the start/finish in Silverton. The race…
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.
