Don commented he was confused about the results of the Swamp Romp. I heard it direct from the source, the race director. Our boys got "chicked!" From what I heard it was a tougher course this year. Click here to see the pictures. Sorry guys, I couldn’t get my usual photos this year. Thanks to…
Aloha Guys and Gals. ! Maybe I was misinformed, but I was told by a very reliable source that at Swamp Romp last Saturday, the HURT women’s team beat the HURT men’s team. If that wasn’t bad enough, the HURT women’s team had 2 masters team members (60 and over). Please tell me this isn’t…
Barbi and I took the dogs for a walk this morning and got to watch much of the Windward Half Marathon. It was a warm morning. Lots of familiar faces. I tried to take a few photos however I have a new camera so some are a bit blurry and others I missed altogether. Some…
Aloha ! At Run to the Sun, everyone has their own story and every story is different. In fact, our particular stories often differ drastically from year to year. The "people" stood out in my mind more this year than ever. It started with the race directors. Maybe I just knew more than ever before…

Aloha Athletes ! The April issue of Ultrarunning magazine has a great article on the HURT 100, held last January. Included in this issue are outstanding articles written by Co-R.D.’s John and P.J. Salmonson. Of special interest to me, and hopefully to many of you, is the article written by P.J., which gave well-deserved recognition…
Kat has posted some pictures that Rex took at two recent marathons. You can see photos from the Honolulu Marathon and also the Marine Corp Marathon. The Marine Corp Marathon was in the Washington DC area. Thanks Rex and Kat!!
Jeff Huff sent me his Plain 100 report to post here. Jeff was one of only two finishers in the 2005 Plain 100. For those of us that were there, we all know Jeff did more than just finish this race. Congratulations again Jeff !!! Click here to read his report. Aloha, Bob

Aloha Athletes ! HURT runners kicked butt at Volcano Marathon ! It was almost embarrasing, as it seemed like almost everyone was a HURT runner, or HURTpal, that was called up to receive an award. Congratulations to all !!Here’s an example of some of the age group winners: First place:Marian Yasuda Patricia CarrollChristina ClintonAmy CowanHarald…
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.
