See that smiling, eager face on the left side of this photo? That is what Wily looked like at the start of his Labor Day weekend. He is the only person I know of who started on Saturday by running the Tantalus Triple Trek, a 50K jaunt through the mud and forest. After finishing…
For the last couple of years, this logo has been on the HURT 100 site. Starting on Friday, the UTMB kicks off and there is a nice group of U.S. runners this year. On the men's side, Scott Jurek, Geoff Roes, and Karl Meltzer will be running. If you go to the UTMB site, there…

While Marian and Sarah were running Headlands, a few of us got together for a final "goodbye" to Gerry Brotherton, who passed away last November. He was the oldest living member of HURT (89). Gerry was one of the first ultrarunners in Hawaii, with an obsession for the more adventurous runs like "Telluride Get High",…
A nice article on Paul in The Maui News. So Paul, what's next? Paul has put together some nice races. Aloha, Bob
I received an e-mail from a visiting trail runner (Donovan) asking for info about a nice 10 mile trail run he could do on his short visit here Thursday (8/5). I sent him a map and directions to our Tantalus Triple Trek course, which he will do by himself Thursday morning around 6-6:30 am. I thought if there…
A few weeks ago I posted about Charlotte Vasarhelyi's attempt at setting a record on the Bruce Trail in Canada. I received this from her today: "Hi Everyone, Some of you know that completing the Bruce Trail End to End run has been a dream of mine for a very long time. On June 19th, I…
First thing I must say is that it was a less than ideal time for us to do it. I had gotten reinjured a week after the April HURT race and missed about four of the next eight weeks with no running whatsoever. Gina was recovering from a recurring stress fracture (same shin as the…
Only one Hawaii resident was lucky enough to get into Western States this year though the lottery. That was Maui resident Paul Hopwood. Paul has run some pretty good races on the mainland (Hardrock) and he certainly has the speed to run with the big boys. We want to wish him and all the runners…
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.
