Just as planned: a few newbies and a few oldies makes for a great time. We met at 6pm below Nature Center with some new faces to give it a whirl. One new face was Meagan, in town for a while and new to ultra running although, you would never know it. Maricio trash talked…
For the newbies and the oldies, this is just a fun night loop. Stash will be dropped at both locations, but bring enough food. Also, it is dark at night so maybe a light would be useful. Please email me so I can get an idea of how many people are planning to join the…
I just got back from a run out at Peacock Flats. By the time I got back to my truck I had with me an extra Succeed pouch and 4 Gu-type pouches which I found on the trails. I’m sure we’ve all had something fall out our packs once in a while, but I wanted…
Aloha, At the suggestion of a friend, I’ve tossed up a quick web page of some local trails runs. The trails are downloadable in Google Earth format, so you can zoom in and see the elevation and terrain changes. The aerial views are nice if you’ve wanted to run a trail but were not sure…
Aloha Athletes ! Last Saturday’s training at Peacock Flats was a blast ! Several old, familiar faces showed up to the surprise of a large group of regulars.

EDIT: I changed this posting a bit. Big thanks to Marsha Sarver for giving me some info on the route! Around September or October, I’m going to do a run from my house in Wailuku town. It starts along Kahekili highway, just above Takamiya market. The course is all paved road – maybe some unpaved…
Aloha Athletes ! We’re back to semi-normal schedule this week, with only the Swamp Romp and the Pose Running class vying for our regulars.

Let’s meet at the entrance to Hoomaluhia Botanical Garden, in Kaneohe, at 6:30 am (no typo…that is 6:30 am). We will do the fun route which takes us thru the Garden, out…

Aloha Athletes ! The 2008 HURT 100 is now in the history books ! Congratulations to all the runners that competed. Obviously it was a tough race, as only half the number of finishers of 2007 finished in 2008. A big mahalo to Big John, Jeff and PJ, and to all the many volunteers. Since…
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.
