Training for HURT takes time, lots of time. We all have busy schedules and try to fit the training in as best we can. This year I have noticed people are training both day and night, whenever they can. I know it is not always possible to train with a group or even with another…
Yesterday (Saturday) I ran a HURT loop by myself. I know others were out there however I was running later due to watching my daughters soccer game. The trails were extremely dry–possibly as dry as I have ever seen them. Unfortunately the air was wet–thick with humidity. It felt good to put in a full…
Just a heads up. A local women and her two dogs are frequently on Moleka in the evening. I have had 5 encounters with her. The first three encounters, the dogs were unleashed and all over me, actually knocking me off the trail and down an enbankment (#3). At this time I politely asked her…

I came across this article at Runners Web that got me thinking about the training we do for H.U.R.T. events. I have been kicking around some of these ideas for my own training as well. The author talks about adding speed workouts for endurance events–though not in the context of 100 mile runs, and I…

This past weekend for me personally consisted of zero training. Not good! I did manage to get 20 road miles in at the Ho’omaluhia Botanical Garden on Friday. I can’t remember the last time I have run 20 miles on the road? My training schedule was pre-empted by coaching our two daughters in a soccer…
This past Friday evening several of us met for a night training run on the H.U.R.T. 100 course. I should have known it was going to be one of those nights when I called Cheryl as I was leaving Kailua and she told me it was already raining pretty hard in Manoa. It was a…

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.
