Leaving NC around 5:30pm this Friday for a 40 miler. Plan to run 'er in before sunrise. Carrying a Fish size pack (absent the cowbell) so no stoppin'. This is my birthday run, although farther than I am old!! (Sorry Mike M., I'm not running my age in hours dude) See you out there for my…
Don and Cheryl have asked me to post the Saturday training routine as they are both off island. The fast crowds have some good night runs planned for Friday-Saturday and I urge all those who are in the sub-six category to get out and join Paul et.al. for a good night run experience. Paul is famous for…
Hey Guys and Gals ! While most of you were having fun on the HURT 100 course, playing in the mud, Cheryl and I were having a marvy day at Peacock, enjoying the beautiful vistas and cool breezes. Jan was doing her own thing, up ahead and we were elated to see Gordon and Malia,…
There are multiple groups going out on Friday night to do night loops and into morning. I hear there is a 6 hour group heading out from the Nature Center around 6:00 PM ( not sure on the time parking at the water tank) There is also a slower group heading out from Paradise at about…
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."
Planning to push out from Paradise Park around 5:30pm for a HURT double. If you are doing Peacock Flats as a training run, then this is a good build. If you are racing Peacock Flats, think twice. Not planning to drop supplies around except at Paradise Park. Working on nutrition and slow pace endurance, so…
I came down the Kealia Trail last Saturday morning convinced that I was done. I had 38 miles on my feet and was ready to call it a day, and more importantly my quads were telling me they didn't like me very much. But when I got to the bottom I let the morning crowd…
The Peacock 54, in three weeks, marks the end of the Trail Series and the beginning of HURT training. The period after Peacocks is is often a time when the few courageous recover from the 54 and mull over their training schedules for the next couple of months. It is also that time when those…
Something to turn those friday night dreams pleasant…..tomorrow's reality. I headed out toward Dillingham before the Friday afternoon rush hour fouled the roads and brought the flow of traffic to a standstill. Made it there in less than an hour and with surprisingly easy driving. Moving along the bottom of long road by 4:10, I was hoofing…
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.
