Aloha Athletes ! With Bram's March 6, 2010 date for the unofficial "fun" Run to the Sun fast approaching, serious chatter on the subject was heard last Saturday on Tantalus. Since it's not a race or not even anything resembling a organized run, anyone showing up at 4:30 am at the parking lot behind the…
From Na Ala Hele The Oahu Na Ala Hele Trails and Access program recently established tool and recycled plastic material stashes along the Wilwilinui, Hawaii loa and Kuliouou ridge trails. The reason for the stashes is to eventually allow volunteers the ability to install mountain steps on their own time without supervision. Over time the…
For those who missed it, you can click here and see all the fun running times you missed during the the SweetHeart's run. Neal and Marian know how to throw a party!
Some familiar faces wearing the bright pink Kelli's Krew shirts participated in the Swamp Romp. Over 400 teams participated (a race record) in the fun run through the mud and muck on the Marine base. They even got some air time on the 5:00 p.m. KHNL/KGMB news. This is still one of my favorite races…
Hi Everyone, Cheryl suggested (and Cheryl is always right) that I mention that there will be a beachside memorial service for Heather's Mom (also my 2nd Mom) this Sunday morning, in Kailua, at the canal crossing next to Buzz's Steak House area. Mom's ashes will be taken by canoe around 9:00 am to be spread…

In light of that, a couple of weeks of Haleakala training might not be a…
WOW is all that I can say. Nineteen HURT runners started on a journey that would take them in a large 50-mile loop on a beautiful night under a star-filled sky.

I'm ruminating. Which means I am not trying to sell anything except a hard time. And I usually just give that away. But I'm bothered by the recent slew of bare foot running articles by people who don't seem to know their feet from their anal sphincter. The most recent article was about Kenyan runners who…
Aloha Athletes ! This Saturday you have the wonderful opportunity to have a workout, eat some great food and visit with friends. So, plan to meet at the entrance to Hoomaluhia Botanical Garden this Saturday morning at 7:00 am. You can do repeats in the Garden or go up to Pali Lookout and back, then bring…
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.
