Dear trail workers: THANK YOU so much for the great response to my last blog message! We are going to have a good Aihualama , and Manoa Cliff day in the upcoming weeks. We will have a trail tech from Na Ala Hele with us on the Wednesday Aihualama day, to share his expertise! …
I will be scheduling a couple of trail maintenance days during the first 3 weeks of December. It’s hard to get in work days around training and the holidays, but it is the best time to clean up the trail so the training runners can enjoy it a little, and so the trails will settle…
There was quite a crowd gathered at the Pali Lookout early this morning for the run to Waimanalo (and back for some) on the Maunawili trail. We probably had 12 to 15 runners, a good mix of veteran and newer trail runners. Cheryl kept everyone reigned in early on until the stairs just about the…
Trail Work, Saturday 2 December. Mahalo for coming out! It seems that the HURT 100 course has again lived up to it’s reputation for not making anything easy. Heavy rain and wind forced us to cancel the scheduled work on Aihualama Trail. Mahalo to those who braved the elements this morning to show up in…
Aloha! First, a Big Mahalo to PJ, Bozo, Trish, Harald, the Huffer, and Mike for a job well done last week on Aihualama Trail! You all did a great job out there!! We have one last work day scheduled before HURT VII – would appreciate those of you who can make some time…
It hasn’t rained much in Manoa Valley over the past weeks; dry and humid, like the rest of the island. I ran most of a HURT loop last Friday and I didn’t even get much mud on my socks– which is a testament to how dry things have been. But when I got up…
A couple of the same good souls volunteered to work this Wednesday morning- hope there might be a few more, we are pretty short handed!I need to know if you can help us by early this evening (Monday), so I can know how many tools to pick up tomorrow morning. e-mail PJ here if you…
PJ is still planning on a trip up Aihualama from the Paradise Park, alone if need be, a week from today. Anyone available please call me by Monday so I can pick up our tools Tuesday. We’ll start up at daylight and work from the top down to even out a better footing and widen…
PJ is leading another work group into the woods. The workday will be 11-22, the day before Thanksgiving. We will meet at the back of Manoa and head up the trail at daybreak- 6:30 ish? I’ll pin the time down when we get nearer to the day. If that is an awful day for everyone,…

Please don’t forget to add these important dates announced earlier for trail work to your calendar: October 28 and December 2. Mike Garica will be organizing two work days as described in more detail here. It is important that we have a good turnout of volunteers to help get the trails in shape for the…
On 9-26, the first HURT 100 trail maintenance group (the MMs) met in the dark, and the rain, at Jackass Ginger. We carried tools and backpacks at 6:10 am, across the raging Nuuanu Stream, up to the top of the switchbacks on Nuuanu Trail. With Aaron’s hoes,rakes, and picks, we hacked out slide areas to…
