Aloha Athletes, As you have probably noticed, the HURT Hawaii site has a new look. This site was created a little over 10 years ago when blogging was still pretty new. Before this site, Don Fallis, Cheryl Loomis, as well as John and PJ Salmonson would organize weekly training runs and we would all find…
Hurt Ohana, I am in town this week and planning to do a long run THU night(preferred) or FRI morn (early!) before my flight back. Peacocks would be great (long road to a Gordon's loop) or I can do tantalus or a waimanalo o/b…. Anyone interested just post here, or Facebook me. If no takers,…
Aloha Athletes, I thought some of you might be interested in this so I am posting for all of you to check out. Hello! To help keep you abreast of research related to ultramarathon running, I call your attention to some recent publications from our group which I’ve listed below. Links to the abstracts (when available) are…
Aloha Athletes, Here are a couple of upcoming runs to put on your calendar: U.S.VETS helps homeless military veterans address whatever issues may have led to their homelessness and also helps them increase their income so they can transition into their own place. Our biggest fundraiser of the year is coming up in November. It…
The grind, the hard hot highway, the unending mile, the eternal night, all have their moments on the route that winds its way slowly around Oahu. The fun and excitement slip quickly and silently away until there is little but the push, the effort, the concentration on the pace; which monopolizes and then consumes perception….
Aloha Athletes, I was discussing through e-mail with Cheryl the relevancy of posting weekly training runs. The size and populariity of these weekly runs varies considerably as do the locations. Sometimes there might only be two people who show up and sometimes there are 20+. In the past, we did a lot more variety of…
Aloha Athletes, Just a couple of quick things here. Sunday March 18th we will be running to the sun again that is the summit at Haleakala 10,032" We still dont have a REAL race director so we're continuing the unofficial RTTS as we have done the last 2 years. So this is TOTALLY UNOFFICIAL,…
Mike M at the Back of the Pack Don called me a few days before Peacocks, excited by the upcoming race, more excited than I that’s for sure. I was dreading it. Pecocks had come up on me far too fast, allowing very little training. I’d done Are’s twice, the Lower Loop twice and…
Essentials: Meet at the Dillingham Airfield Parking Lot at 7:00 AM on Saturday 10/22 for a brief light run and some trail marking, followed by a Pot Luck. Gordon has asked me to post a request for volunteers to mark the Peacock trail this Saturday Morning. We will be dividing up into groups and heading…
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.
