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…
Mikem after 44 Plus Hours of Running with the Warriors of Kaeokulani? I believe I have topped myself for pure unadulterated painful ventures. I have managed to write a 'report', actually a piece or story, of the recent 'run' around Oahu. It's likely a bit long for some, well most, but it's not a bad piece actually. So for those…
1) Meeting the fabulous girls team @ Kaya’s in Punaluu ; Julie, Jan and Cheryl (our great crew). 2) Running my first 15 miles on my home turf : north east Oahu to Sunset Beach. 3) Sunset on the North Shore with a car load of sweaty girls. 4) Catching up with Mike and Don…
While going around the Point at 2am, Mike M says: "where'd all this MUD come from??" Andy G showing up in Kapolei on Sunday morning in a kilt, playing bagpipes Julie T: "Whoever invented wet wipes is a genius!" Seeing the smiles on faces of a bunch of ultrarunners who are out torturing themselves for…
Down the Hard Hot Highway… Here we are into the second month of the HURT Trail Series, Rex, Jan and Lisa are already doing HURT loops, Huddy and Jeff are running everywhere, Brian is doing elevation training while carting around a small car on his back, Nick and Huffer did 27 at Peacock, and what…
Just in case someone wants to hang on the windward side, I'm running from my house in Kailua to the Makapu'u lighthouse, and may keep going around. Who knows? If you want an adventure run with no drops or way back to your car besides running, let me know. This will be a casual run…
After a stressful 6 month sabbatical and binging a little I am now sober and back to running. I have been in California since Dec. 26 wainting for my divorce to go through and started my running two weeks ago with a 7 mile trail run (1:45). Then it struck me hard…..the fever broke and…

Some last minute stuff about where and what :
Well as Don would say, “Guys and Gals, Mikey has talked himself into some stupid stuff, but this ices the cake, the birthday cake that is."
My goal for this whole year has been smashed or shall I say burned to a crisp with the Angeles National Forest on fire.I am deeply saddened, there have been fire fighters who have died trying to contain it. A little good news and something a little more with running involved. My friend Tom and…

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.
