Aloha Athletes ! With "The Tantalus Triple Trek" only 3 weeks from this Saturday, it's time to get familiar with the Triple Trek course. For the newbies, it will be the perfect opportunity to experience the course. For the rest of us, we can say "hi" to our old buddies, "roots and rocks". Plan to…
As an alternative to Peacock's— I will be running Trek loop(s) in preparation for the not-too-distant Triple Trek. I'll be leaving from the Water Tank Park on Makiki Heights Dr.( Mango Madness Venue) at 7:00 AM. This is a ten mile loop over well known but changed ground. Bring water and energy stuff to stash near Nature Center. …
Aloha Athletes ! After last Saturday's incredibly fun Maunawili Out and Back race, it's almost a let down to get back to business as usual. A BIG thank you to Marian & Neal for a fantastic job of making this race so special…all the way from the hilarious-pig-hype, prior to the race…to the race itself….

Aloha Athletes ! The fact that I'm still laughing from reading Marian's clever post about those dangerous pigs on Maunawili Trail, makes it difficult to type this. However, in spite of those mean pigs, we still plan to bravely venture over to Pali Lookout at 6:00 am this Saturday and with wary eyes, do all…
How Super Pig Saved the Maunawili Out and Back Rumors were flying….the Maunawili Out and Back was in jeopardy. Talk on the street was that there were these two badass pigs, Leatherface and Scar, plotting to take out innocent runners as they attempted to make their way along the Maunawili Trail on August 1….
Just got back from my recce of the UTMB. Finally made it round (after 2 attempts frustrated by weather) and looking forward to the race in August. It's a marvelous run/crawl with brilliant views of the massif from all aspects + great huts and food etc along the way. Highly recommended. Nick

Story on the first OD 100 thirty years ago. http://www.vhtrc.org/forum09/od1979.htm Frank MacMillan
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.
