aloha HURT’ers, Last week, my wife Lesley and I spent five days grinding out a 45 mile roundtrip hike up and down Mauna Loa. This was the first time for both of us up the trail, and it was definitely tougher than we thought it would be. Highlights included staying at wonderful cabins for each…
Aloha again, In addition to Peacock Flats this Saturday, for those of you with less time on your hands or don’t like driving to Maui (just a joke), Marian will be doing Tantalus Repeats- 4 or 5 loops (up trail, down road) 7.3 miles each, 1 3/4 hours each). I’m not sure what time she…
Minch mulls over the past year and gets even by giving people titles….. HURT 2008 was the culmination of a year’s worth of training and racing for Hawaii Ultra Runners. I was looking back over the year and am very impressed with what our small group of runners has accomplished. …
Aloha HURT ohana, I thought I’d pass on an interesting article I found the other day about a 40 year old 410 lb. guy who is depressed about his weight and decides to walk across the whole country. He really had no idea what he was in for, and the article does a good job…
Hurt community, I wanted to take a minute to introduce myself and share a little about what I am doing. My name is Barry Walton. I am living in San Francisco and stumbled across the HURT 100 several months ago when a friend of mine started sharing about his hobby of ultra running and a…
For all of you that have a significant other who would like to see more of you, let’s run Friday night while they sleep and still be able to hang with them on Saturday! And for those of you that don’t have anyone, you can run all night and meet the HURT gang Saturday morning:)…
Aloha Gang ! Due to the extremely wet conditions and taking into consideration the damage that we will do to the trails, we have decided to change the location of tomorrow’s training to the Hoomaluhia Botanical Garden. See you there! Meeting time: 5:50 am Starting time: 6:00 am
I will be doing a double HURT loop tomorrow morning starting at 0600 from the Nature Center. If anyone wants to join me you can give me a call tonight at 625-9692. Jah Bless, Devon
Thanks Gordon, and everyone else who pitched in to make the run out at Peacock Flats yesterday fantastic. The course markings were great, as well as the stashes. Mahalo nui loa for creating the opportunity fore me to see a whole new set of trails! Here are a few pics for those who have never…
I have taken the windmill and hidden it well. Where it is, no one can tell. If you are the one to find it on the HURT loop then please pick it up and hide it somewhere hard to find (I sure hope Fish doesn’t mind). I do believe, after all, the windmill belongs to…
Aloha Athletes ! It’s always a special occasion when we make it out to Peacock Flats. All the grumbling and whining about the long drive (which is never as long as we thought)seems to disappear after we’ve made that first big climb up Kalia or certainly by the time we’ve looked out over the beautiful…
Congratulations to Hurt runners who completed this years Ironman in Kona. It was hot and the wind was definitely back more than in the last couple of years.

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.
