Well, I guess I missed (and upset) a couple of people by not putting enough info out last Friday for my night loops. I’m thinking about doing it again tonight, but don’t like being the only one on the trails–so if your interested please give me a call at 392-4815. If I can get others…
Just a short note to let everyone know that, because of what I feel was a poor performance by me in the last Triple Trek, I’m planning on doing two HURT loops starting Friday night at around 8PM. My plan is to do a 6 hour first loop and 6:15-6:30 second loop. I’m hoping some…

This past Saturday, in a noble gesture to help get Don ready for Badwater, I awoke early and met the HURT crew out at Ho’omaluhia for some light training. Little did I know that Don’s Badwater quest has jacked up his aggression and intensity quite a bit, and that the smallest provocation can set him…
BEWARE! Yesterday there were two incidents (possibly connected! …gasp…) involving an unidentified haole runner wreaking havoc on local HURT runners. The suspect was said to be about 5’7”, 130 lbs., and wearing gray shorts. According to eye witnesses who have requested to remain anonymous, (thanks for the anonymous tip, Don Fallis, Rex and Kat) the…
If you were not worried about the fast approaching HURT 100, you should be! This past Sunday, Alan Webb, a 3:48 miler and America’s finest middle distance talent, was out on Maunawili Trail and hammering! If you think your in shape, you’ll think differently after he hands you your a** going back up the Old…
All, Not many people are capable of accomplishing things that legends are made of. Yet, Stud Muffin Murphy (SMM), (Bob to most of us) is on the precipice of accomplishing such a feat. The details: 1.) SMM completed his 500th mile at HURT in 2006 with a 100 mile finish. 2.) SMM recently completed the…
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.
