It beat us up bad, no opinions to the contrary. Everyone has blisters and muscle problems and we are all hobbling around and making those long groaning sounds when we stand up or sit down. Mean and brutal are the common assessments of the Lean Horse experience for the HURT team members. Unpaved road, should…
All, Just a quick shout out that Jaime Gifford has won this year’s CCC 100 in a time of 20:54. Darcy Africa was the second place finisher in a time of 21 hours and change. Great job Jaime, we look forward to seeing you out here at H.U.R.T. where we are expecting another 20:54 out…
Looking at the race results for the Volcano runs and I am surprised we had anyone out for our Saturday training run. There were so many of our regular runners listed in the results that I only want to place a link. Otherwise I will surely leave a name out and someone will be upset…
The crooked man crab walked down the desert highway turning the light comedy of Monty Python’s Ministry of Silly Walks into a separate circle of Hell, the pain on his face adding that final twist of reality that brought people to cheer or turn their faces in horror. But the bent man didn’t hear most…

I just completed the Afton Trail 50K on Saturday, July 7th. This is run entirely in Afton State Park, along the St. Croix River just outside of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Since I’ve been away from Hawaii for around 11 years and have finally gotten myself back into decent ultra shape,…
I am a sucker for good photography. In fact I was just on-line looking at digital camera’s. I have three Nikon 35mm SLR film camera’s that were great in their day. Unfortunately they aren’t worth much today. As great and convenient as the new small, pocket-size digital cameras are, nothing beats a SLR. I was…
Here’s a few more photos from Western States. These were taken by the Marian Yasuda. Click here to view. Cheryl sent me these two of Judy and her with their belt buckles.
I received some great photo’s of this past weekend’s Western States 100. The main photographer was Wendy Minor. Western States finisher, Judy Carluccio also sent me one photo that I incorporated into this album. Thanks for sending these! I have also learned Cheryl Loomis finished 3rd in her age group. Pretty Awesome!! You can meet…
The race is over. It sounds like the runners had much cooler weather this year. We’ll have to wait until they return to hear the "real" stories. Steve Dewald was the first Hawaii finisher at 26:35:34Former Hawaii resident, Judy Carluccio finished at 29:28:53Cheryl Loomis finished at 29:35:33. It appears Jeff Huff had a really tough…
There’s a few hundred people hoping they get a good nights sleep as I write this late Thursday evening. Why? Because these same people probably won’t sleep very well on Friday night, the night before the Western States 100 starts. For some of our new friends, Western States is like the Indy 500 of auto…
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.
