I was listening to NPR yesterday and they were talking about this 8 year old girl who ran 2,212 miles in 55 days (about 40 miles a day). You can read (or listen) to the story here. I thought a lot of people here might find the story interesting, but I hope it doesn’t upset…
At Saturday’s Kaena Point Firecracker 10 Mile Race, we will have great looking Patagonia silk-weight Capilene shirts for sale for the H.U.R.T. Trail Series. These are great training shirts and are very cool just to wear around. If you want one, bring $20 to the race on Saturday.
H.U.R.T. runners have been known to have an affinity for our local pigs. Maybe some of you saw the recent news reports. A HUGE pig was recently killed by hunters in Alabama. The pig weighed in at 1051 lbs. I hope I never run into a pig this big or even half that size. Though…
There was quite a crowd gathered at the Pali Lookout early this morning for the run to Waimanalo (and back for some) on the Maunawili trail. We probably had 12 to 15 runners, a good mix of veteran and newer trail runners. Cheryl kept everyone reigned in early on until the stairs just about the…
There were lots of things to choose from this past weekend. Paul has already posted a great report on the Friday night run. Thanks Paul. Sounds like you had a fun evening out there. Sure sounds like it was dry! And what is this I hear about Starbucks?? Check out all the comments related to…
I had the misfortune of being attacked by a dog this morning on Moleka trail. The dog (young, moderate sized, black with white markings on face) was accompanied by a middle aged woman (who had it on a leash but made no attempt to restrain it) and another more mature dog (brown/black) that joined the…
As we all know, there are lots of pigs out around the HURT course. We have also seen all the damage they cause. The State DLNR has authorized and opened the area to pig hunters for the next year. Hunting is scheduled to begin on February 4th. Hunters will only be allowed to hunt Wednesdays…

A lot of us had quite the weekend. It started off with watching Jake Shimabukuro play at the Waikiki Shell. He’s an amazing musician. He was also scheduled to run his first marathon on Sunday. Saturday evening we went to the U2 concert. Funny, the atmosphere in the stadium parking lot was more mellow prior…
It’s a very wet, windy, and soggy day here in Hawaii. I know we shouldn’t complain given the weather this past week on much of the mainland. Nothing like 30 miles out on the HURT course to bring you back to reality in regards to fitness and training. Glad I got my run in yesterday….
Yes, it’s Thanksgiving here in the U.S. this week. I know (my wife is Canadian), Thanksgiving was a month ago for our Northern friends. For many people, the winter and the holiday’s are times we tend to eat more and perhaps–add on a few pounds. For HURT 100 participants, we don’t have to worry too…
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.
