I came down the Kealia Trail last Saturday morning convinced that I was done. I had 38 miles on my feet and was ready to call it a day, and more importantly my quads were telling me they didn't like me very much. But when I got to the bottom I let the morning crowd…

There is a lot going on over the upcoming long weekend. Triple Trek, Dick Evans Bike Race, and the Waikiki Rough Water. I know there are a few crazy people doing all three. I will do those three activities: run, bike, swim, just not biking 112 miles or swimming 2.4 miles. Christian Friis asked me…

Yesterday I took advantage of our state birthday celebration to go out and run some Trek loops in the morning. I have not been running much distance lately so running two Trek loops would be a good challenge for me to step up my distance a bit. I know some H.U.R.T. runners see the Triple…

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.
