Aloha Athletes, This past weekend the The Barkley Marathons took place. Runners can choose between the 60-mile fun run or the whole enchilada–the Barkley 100-mile run. Someone tweeted over the weekend that 12 men had been on the moon and only 10 had ever finished the Barkley 100. Well that number has changed a bit…
Work took me to Queensland last week for a meeting in the rain forest. I was able to squeeze in a couple of trail ultras en route. First was the Maroondah Dam 50k in Victoria near Melbourne on 19th. More challenging than I expected as the scale of the profile plot was in metres, not…
Continuing in my series of training runs for the UTMB, last weekend saw a change of venue as I headed down south ("dan saf" as they say here) via riot torn London to visit in-laws in Portsmouth and take part in the local Salisbury 5-4-3-2-1 trail run. The name derives from the fact that this…
Paul sent in this brief update of his recent run. Managed to overcome all obsticles once again to complete yet another event. My 10th 100 miler ! It sure was brutal!!! A true mountain run for sure, heat, cold. snow, ice, 20k ft of climb, 20k descent all at altitude. I finally finished after being off…
Aloha Athletes, Doug Long completed the Hardrock 100 Endurance Run in Colorado. His time was 46:57. Congratulations to Doug and his support team including his family and pacers, Huddy, Scott, and Cheryl Ridlon. We can't wait to hear the full details and hope (hint-hint) to read a full race report once you get rested up and…

The Kalahari Augrabies Extreme Marathon 2010 My adventure began on the 12th October 2010 with an extreme travelthon from Hawaii to South Africa, eventually arriving in Johannesburg 36 hours later. It was at the hotel in Johannesburg that I met Chanleigh and it turned out that her and I were joined at the hip for…
Not even a mention of our favorite local race–The Run To The Sun. (which hopefully will be resurrected some day) http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/18/sports/18tucson.html
Rob Lahoe returned from his trip to Washington and submitted a great run report on his attempt at the Plain 100. His photo at left is a site I never saw the year I attempted Plain. When we were on this same peak, we were in almost white-out conditions. It just looks like a nice…
For the last couple of years, this logo has been on the HURT 100 site. Starting on Friday, the UTMB kicks off and there is a nice group of U.S. runners this year. On the men's side, Scott Jurek, Geoff Roes, and Karl Meltzer will be running. If you go to the UTMB site, there…
Marian Yasuda and her sister, Sarah McIntosh, are off to do the Headlands 100 this weekend. The race starts Saturday morning and there is a 33 hour time limit. The course is a 25 mile loop and the direction alternates each loop. More info on the race can be found here. Have fun and enjoy!!!
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.
