We will continue the tradition of having the post-race dinner at the Willows Restaurant in Honolulu. Please let us know at the pre-race meeting if you are coming so we can get an estimate of how many people will be attending. This dinner is a great time to connect with other runners and crew, tell…
A lot of people showed up for today’s fun run–the last trail run before the HURT 100. There was a minor glitch at the beginning as the lower gate to the Nature Center parking lot was locked until past 7:00 a.m. Finally a resident who lives up there was leaving and opened the gate. Many…
A minor update (One slot changed) to the previously announced bib number list of entrants. Click here to see the latest entrant list with bib numbers. A small trails update for our mainland friends. I did repeats on the lower loop yesterday and the trail was nice and dry. I had good running conditions, not…
OK, here it is, the 2007 Entrants List with Bib Numbers. Click here to view. The race is just 18 days away. I hope you’re ready! (??) Watch for more updates on this site as the race gets closer. We will be reconfiguring the site to focus on the HURT 100 race.
Important H.U.R.T. VII 100 Update We have had several informational inquiries about this year’s race. Below are some of the answers that we have been sharing with runners about this year’s event. Runners have asked whether or not there were going to be any impromptu aid stations at H.U.R.T. this year. For those who ran…
I counted 21 people out training for HURT yesterday and I might even be forgetting one or two. It was a great day on the trails with cooler temps, lower humidity (I was still soaked), strong breezes on the ridges, and relatively dry trails. We had a few passing showers and it wasn’t till I…
Runners, Thank you all. Over the last couple weeks we have received an incredible amount of applications for the 2007 edition of the H.U.R.T. 100. It has been 7 years in the making, but we are proud to announce that this year’s event has filled to capacity. As such, we are no longer accepting applications…
Aloha Athletes ! Thanks for the response thus far. However, like the Marines, we still need a few good men (and women) for trail marking on Friday morning January 12 and un-marking on Monday January 15, 2007. No experience necessay, and it will give you a new perspective of the HURT 100 course, not to…
Anyone notice that the countdown timer says 30 days until the HURT 100 (as of 12/14)? Yikes!! I am beginning to think maybe seeing that every day is not such a good thing. What do you think? Certainly motivates me to keep focused on the race. The latest update to race entrants can be seen…
Aloha HURT 100 Athletes ! In case you missed the nice, detailed post by Bob McAllaster last week (click here to review it), describing the 50 mile training run this Saturday, the following is a repeat of the plan. This Saturday is the big day for 50 miles of HURT 100 training ! The day…
Another update and we’re up to 88 runners. Click here to see the entire list. Nine more people just added to the list. How’s your training coming along?
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….
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.
