Just in case training with Mikey from Thursday night until Sunday morning will leave you unfulfilled and looking for something more…Steve will be doing a 40 mile South Loop, starting at 6:00 am from Cheryl's house on Sunday morning.

Aloha Athletes ! HURT Tradition has it that when your birthday comes up, you run your "age". For example, when you turn 26 you run the marathon distance, 26 miles. Sounds easy, huh? So what happens when you turn 60? Yep, same thing…you run your age. 60 miles. Well friends, a few months ago Mike Muench confided…
Early Saturday morning, I was asleep in my bed and contently dreaming of slowly waking up, feasting on hot malasadas, watching some college football and happily getting chubby while doing each of these activities. To my great surprise, however, I was awakened by my son saying "Dad…dad, get up, I got to tell you something." …

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.
