I spoke with Neal at 5:00 am today. Marian and Sarah are doing very well and were expected to arrive at the aid station at mile 96 at any minute. They are cold, wet and shivering from running all night in the fog, but are still smiling.

Greetings from Auburn. Thanks for the support and cheers HURT. Ultrarunning is such a beautiful and effortless endeavor- when things are flowing right. And such a tooth and nail fight when it's not- as you ALL well know. This weekend amounted to the above and much, much more. Most goals met- some not, but leaving me amazed by the…

Jan McGriff recently went to the mainland for the San Diego 100 Mile Run. It is a great report and a reminder that things don't always go as planned. She sent in her race report which you can read by clicking here. The two photos here show Jan at the start and also as she…

Just a quick update. I finished the San Diego 100 Mile Endurance Run this weekend in 28:07. Pushed the last 20 miles, but ran pretty conservatively throughout since I have Cascade Crest coming up in August (what was I thinking!?). My friend Rachel, who I ran with for much of the race, finished her first…
Hello, We will be visiting the Big Island in early August this year, only a few weeks before the Leadville 100 Trail Run that I'll be competing in again this year. I'd like to squeeze in a 20-mile trail run while in Hawaii, but I don't know the trails and there seem to be no…

The Big Island Traverse was an epic adventure through the realm of the gods providing us with ample opportunities to push our physical and mental limits. My mind reels and my body aches as the full gravity of our journey emerges into consciousness. There were good times had and lessons learned and there are stories…
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.
