Is anyone interested in running 50 miles on Saturday? The plan would be to start around 3:30am from the Nautre Center side. Do 2 HURT loops and a reverse Triple Trek Loop. I would like to be done before 6pm. I will provide a stash at Paradise Park. If interested you can e-mail me at…
This Saturday’s training will be held as originally planned on the HURT 100 course starting at 6:00 am. We will reschedule the Peacock Preview, hopefully for Nov. 17 and the Peacock 50 training run hopefully for Dec. 1, but will let you know. In the mean time, join the gang at the mauka end of…
Aloha Athletes ! No, we haven’t lost it…at least not yet. Gordon has received reports that the Waianae trail closures are expected to be to be re-opened over the next day or two, so it’s a good possibility that we will be able to have the Peacock Preview this Saturday. Please keep a watchful eye…
Aloha Athletes ! Tick, tick, tick…November is here this Thursday, so it’s time to get serious, if your name is on the HURT 100 entrants list. I know…you think you still have plenty of time to goof-off before getting serious, but, trust me, you don’t ! So be at the end of Manoa Rd. at…
Aloha Athletes ! Due to trail closures, we are forced to change our Saturday Training tomorrow (10-27-07). Fires in the Peacock Flats area have prompted the action. Instead, we will move our training run to Maunawili, starting at Pali Lookout at 6:00 am and doing an out-and-back from Pali Lookout to Waimanalo…a nice, fast 22…
Aloha Athletes ! Mark your calendars for two upcoming special Saturday training dates: October 27 and November 17. The October 27 date is a 25 mile "preview" and the November 17 date is a 50 mile training run at "race pace", which was designed to give us Hawaii runners non-existent 50 mile race conditions during…
Aloha Athletes ! This Saturday we will begin ramping up for the HURT 100. Mike Muench has already posted the sobering message "100 Days to 100 Miles" which will soon be 90…then 80…then 70…so set your alarm on Friday night and then meet Cheryl and the gang at the end of Manoa Rd. in time…
HURT is getting closer, and that fourth night loop is tough! So, here’s an opportunity to practice. I’m leaving NC at 5pm this Friday (10/5) and planning to run one loop, and possibly another. Should be completed with the first by 10pm and the second by 4am. Call or reply if interested (497-3911). – Paul
Aloha Athletes ! With the Hogsback 12 Hour race coming up a week from Saturday, it’s about time we devote a lil’ training to the race. Since it covers a portion of the HURT 100 mile course, it will serve as good training for it as well. There’s a rumor floating around that one of…
Aloha Athletes ! It’s back to normal HURT 100 training this Saturday with a HURT loop, starting at Manoa at 6:00 am. In case you haven’t done this routine, just drive mauka on Manoa Rd. to where the road narrows, just before Paradise Park, and park. Please try to be there by 5:50 am and…
Alright, we have a few options with Rob and myself. I’m leaving earlier than Mr. Rob, around 5:00pm and will pace the loop at 4:30 – 4:45 hours. Departing from NC with no stash planned, although I may stash some at JG if I can manage with my son in tow tonight. Splits for planning:…
Once I saw the planned training run this weekend at Gordon’s secret spot I was excited and had planned on being there. However scheduling conflicts with my wife have made it necessary for me to do another night run on Friday. I’ll be leaving from the water tower near the Nature Center at 8PM. My…
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.
