If you saw all of those yellow shirts at the finish, those were children and their family who are battling cancer. I ran for them and this is my race report. I never felt stronger. http://cancerrunner.typepad.com/dailyposts/

Interesting article in the NY Times on Ultrarunning and toenail removal. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/22/fashion/22FITNESS.html My favorite quote is "You know any sport has gone off the rails when you have to remove body parts to do it,” said Christopher McDougall, the author of a recent book about ultrarunning called “Born to Run.”
Vi's Adventure Trek & Run came off without a hitch, except for all the cows in one of the pastures- they really weren't supposed to be there, but, what can I say? It actually added a little excitement to the runners' morning. The front runners startled them, and I could actually see the stampede high…

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.
