Aloha Athletes, We have the annual 4th of July festivities coming up this weekend and there are a lot of fun things to choose from. Our own HURT Trail Series, the Kaena Point Firecracker 10 Mile race is Saturday July 3rd at 7:00 a.m. The race starts at the end of the paved road…
Aloha Athletes, Even I am beginning to wonder why we post these training run notices. Same o' same-o' I hear from Cheryl that the plan is to run up at Peacock again. If I was a newcomer to the islands or wanting to get involved with HURT, I would start to think this is the…
Aloha Athletes, This Saturday we are headed back up to the Peacock Flats area for training. Starting time will be 7:00 a.m. behind the Dillingham Airfield control tower. If you can't make that early start, a second loop will start from the same area about 11:30 a.m. Remember you can always do as little or…
Aloha Athletes, It is back to Peacock Flats this weekend. You have some starting time options 4:30 a.m. End of Long Road with Marian 7:00 a.m. Control Tower Parking Lot. Cheryl and others will be meeting Marian 8:30 a.m. Control Tower Parking Lot. Don and Vernon Remember to pack lots of water and electrolytes as…
Aloha Athletes, Ok, folks, this is a big one. It is one of those training runs where you can really feel like you have gone somewhere and back, put in some mileage and covered some distance. This run is happening at Marian's request. She will be doing the full distance. Others are welcome to join…
Aloha Athletes: Again this weekend you have some options. Peacock. For you early birds, Marian is starting at the bottom of long road at 4:30 a.m. This is a repeat of what Marian and Cheryl did this past Friday while they were playing hooky. Cheryl and probably other people who like to sleep a bit…
Aloha Athletes, Instead of posting just Saturday training, I am posting a few options. Friday: Apparently for some on Furlough(?) the weekend begins Friday. Cheryl and Marian are going to Peacock. Contact Cheryl or leave a comment here if you want to play hooky on Friday. Saturday: 7:30 a.m. Ho'omaluhia Botanical Garden. Meet Don outside…
Aloha Athletes, This is kinda starting to sound like a broken record. There really are more trails on Oahu than Peacock and the Makiki/Tantalus trail system. We used to run them! (???) In any case, here are the options for Saturday up at Peacock. 7:00 a.m. when the gate opens in the parking lot behind…
Aloha Athletes, There are lots of opportunities to get out and run or bike with someone you love this weekend. For those thinking of heading to Maui and running up the mountain, there is a group meeting at the park with the water tank just below the Nature Center at 6:00 a.m. on Saturday for…
By popular demand and due to all the recent wet weather, it is back to Peacock this weekend. A leisurely 7:00 a.m. start at the usual parking/meeting place. Build your training plan around and bring the water and nutrition you need.
Aloha Athletes ! In addition to multiple training venues on the HURT 100 course, several of us are venturing out to the Peacock Flats area this Saturday for some different views and terrain. Cheryl will be starting at the bottom of Long Road at 5:00 am, using my new flashlight from Fish. By the time…
There are multiple groups going out on Friday night to do night loops and into morning. I hear there is a 6 hour group heading out from the Nature Center around 6:00 PM ( not sure on the time parking at the water tank) There is also a slower group heading out from Paradise at about…
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.
