Aloha Athletes, Last week we had a good size group out for the start of Run to the Sun training. Unfortunately, with Cheryl sleeping in, we had to ad-lib a bit on the route out through Manoa Valley. Funny when you think about it, we are basically trail runners and know our way around the…

I counted 21 people out training for HURT yesterday and I might even be forgetting one or two. It was a great day on the trails with cooler temps, lower humidity (I was still soaked), strong breezes on the ridges, and relatively dry trails. We had a few passing showers and it wasn’t till I…

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.
