Xy (Chrissy) Wiess of Dirty Girl Gaiters just spent 12 days on Maui recovering from her successful Badwater run and has been inspired to offer some Hawaiian print gaiters (see below). She is just test marketing these gaiters for now and for the next month, they are available to anyone with a Hawaiian address for…
Here’s a link that was on the Ultra list last week about foot taping. Pretty good info, click here. Also don’t forget to check out John Vonhof’s two sites. Lot’s of good resources here too. http://www.vonhof.typepad.com/fixingyourfeet/ http://www.vonhof.typepad.com/happy_feet/
The big news this past week was the announement of Timberland and GoLite forming a partnership to produce trail shoes. Though not available until 2007, this should prove interesting as GoLite has been getting more involved in trail running and adventure racing. Read more about it here.
I was reading over on John Vonhof’s Happy Feet blog about the Hersey Custom Shoe Company. Pretty cool in today’s mass produced and mass marketed world that there are still people who make a business out of custom made shoes. These are not custom fitted shoes but each shoe is custom made for the buyers…
Don asked me to post this e-mail to the blog about LED lights. The latest Lowe’s Home Improvement advertisement has a couple of interesting looking LED lights. One is a 1-watt handheld for $19.97 and they also have a 1-watt headlamp if anyone is interested for the same cost. These might be a good choice…
In all my pre-Plain planning and training, I forgot to mention that we now have a local source for Montrail trail shoes. Fleet Feet Sports in Kailua is now stocking Montrail. I have been running in the Montrail Highline recently as have a few other regular H.U.R.T. runners. The shoe has been working great for…
Yesterday I received a postcard in the mail announcing the opening of Fleet Feet Sports in Kailua. The card had this offer on it "If you bring Dad in, he gets 20% off a pair of shoes." Since we currently don’t have a running store on the Windward side, I have been waiting for them…
There is always ongoing discussion about the perfect shoe. Runners talk about the latest, greatest shoe or their favorite pair that finally wore out and has never been replaced. I know,– I searched many hours on the Internet trying to find the perfect shoe for H.U.R.T. (P.S. I think I came close! La Sportiva Exum…
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.
