Aloha! I am an ultrarunner from California who will be visiting Oahu from August 9 to August 17 on business. I would very much like to run one loop of the HURT course with another runner who knows the course and is willing to accompany me. I would like to run early in the morning…
I got two new CD's of photos this week from two different photographers. Jack Gibbons volunteered at the Nuuanu/Jackass Aid Station and took some great photos there. You can see Jack's photos here. Stan Jensen volunteered for the entire weekend and has shots from the pre-race meeting until the end of the dinner. His photos…
Aloha,Due to some technical difficulties, these photos are long overdue. I think most were taken by PJ, however she is in a few of the photos so I know she didn't take all of them. Stan Jensen may have taken some as well. There are three pages of the thumbnail size photos. Click on the…
Enough cannot be said, but still I'll attempt to some degree here. Aid Stations: Year after year, I think the aid stations are great but this year took the competition between each aid station to a new level. The energy at Nuuanu, the lights at Paradise and the excellent volunteers at Nature Center all brought forth…

Aloha, Each year, one of the highlights (especially for us) is the Monday night banquet. It gives everyone a chance to relax after a very hard weekend and tell stories, have a glass of wine (or two) and enjoy the camaraderie of the HURT experience and each other. We also have some awards and giveaways,…

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.
