This weekend saw the 3rd "Ultra-Trail de Lake District", the UK's answer to the UTMB. Up from 75 entrants the first year there were 500 runners with 350 in the 50 mile event and 150 doing the 100 miler. The latter start at 6pm Friday and the 50 milers start at noon on Saturday at…
Aloha Athletes, Looking for something to do this morning or for the next 48 hours or so? You can follow along as runners hit the hot pavement in Death Valley. For those of you new to this, runners start in three waves: 6:00 a.m., 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. CA time. Again, I don't think…
Aloha Athletes, You can follow along with the Hardrock 100 here. It started this morning and while there are no Hawaii runners in the race this year, there are certainly people we know running. Karl Meltzer has had a tough year and has had several injuries leading up to the race. He has also posted…
A few weeks ago I posted about Charlotte Vasarhelyi's attempt at setting a record on the Bruce Trail in Canada. I received this from her today: "Hi Everyone, Some of you know that completing the Bruce Trail End to End run has been a dream of mine for a very long time. On June 19th, I…
First thing I must say is that it was a less than ideal time for us to do it. I had gotten reinjured a week after the April HURT race and missed about four of the next eight weeks with no running whatsoever. Gina was recovering from a recurring stress fracture (same shin as the…
Only one Hawaii resident was lucky enough to get into Western States this year though the lottery. That was Maui resident Paul Hopwood. Paul has run some pretty good races on the mainland (Hardrock) and he certainly has the speed to run with the big boys. We want to wish him and all the runners…
Last week I finaly got back to racing after having hernia surgery and just wanted finish under the cut off time. Alot of things weat wrong with this race and I am still trying to figure out why some of this new generation of runners and RD’s are acting like this. Take your time it is…

Aloha Athletes, This is kinda starting to sound like a broken record. There really are more trails on Oahu than Peacock and the Makiki/Tantalus trail system. We used to run them! (???) In any case, here are the options for Saturday up at Peacock. 7:00 a.m. when the gate opens in the parking lot behind…

aloha HURT gang! Here is the skinny on Chicago: We re-conned the course the day before by "hanging out" on the 103rd floor of the Willis (formerly Sears) Tower. I could tell that Nate was drooling over getting his BASE jumping career going early. We blindly put our faith in engineers and architects like Senelly…
Aloha Athletes, Just a reminder that if you want to put an application in for this race that you have 15 days to get it in. Well, maybe to be more precise, to get into the lottery for a chance to run the race. Here is the link for all the info: http://ws100.com/appform.htm Good luck….
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.
