Dirty Girls and I am not talking gaiters (or anything else Murphy!). Some HURT ladies went for a romp in the swamp at the annual Swamp Romp out on the Kaneohe Marine Base this morning. According to PJ, here's the pictures of the skankiest HURT women ever (sans Barbi- boo hoo). Click here to view….

Aloha Athletes ! Run to the Sun training is almost pau, with this Saturday beginning the taper process. If you are not nursing an injury, you still have time to get in one more good workout. This Saturday we will return to our standard training route…Manoa/Tantalus Rd. repeats, starting at 6:30 am at the ol'…
It was touch and go, but the plan to do Peacock Flats flew out the window after Marian changed her schedule (just like a woman !), so we will be returning to our Manoa/Tantalus Run to the Sun training route. It's probably for the best, although I was hoping that Marian, Julie, Ernest and Fish would…
NEW ADDITION: Check out photos from the Sweetheart's South Loop here. The group for the Sweetheart's South Loop on February 14, 2009 was slightly smaller than last year, but no less enthusiastic. Everyone was excited and raring to go. In fact, maybe a little too excited. We divided into two teams, pink team and red…
Photos Added 2/19/09: CLICK HERE It was one of those Ultra Travel days that one can not prepare for, no matter how one tries. After nearly twenty-four hours of airplanes, airports, and rental cars, I got to the motel room, beat and banged up, and seeing too many fingers in front of my…

Aloha All, Thinking back on the many pieces that make up the HURT 100 race and all the hard work by so many, it makes me proud to be on the HURT team. After all, HURT stands for "Hawaiian Ultrarunning TEAM"…and we are a "TEAM". The HURT 100 race has come a long way since…
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.
