Aloha Athletes ! HURT Training is ON. A lot of runners out this past Friday. I think a few on Saturday as well. For this week, we are planning something different. We will venture outside of the normal HURT loops and just plan a long day on the trails with a bit of road thrown…
HURT runners are working hard to fit in training whenever they can. I know of at least one runner who is going to do 40 miles on Friday after not being able to get his 40 in last week. For many of us, after last week’s 40 miler, we are offering up something a bit…
Aloha Athletes, It’s time to do a double loop. Please note the 5:00 a.m. start time. As always, you can join us for part of the day or a portion of the HURT course. Don’t feel you have to go 40 miles if you just want to get some training or trail experience. Saturday Training…
This week we are planning a Friday evening training to get on the trails after dark. This is really important training for the HURT 100 as approximately 12 hours of the race are done in the dark. It’s important for participants and their pacers to be comfortable on the trails, confident in their lighting choices,…
This Saturday we are planning on running a HURT loop starting in Manoa and going over to Nuuanu and then running to the Nature Center and finishing back in Manoa at Paradise Park. Rex and Kat will be leading this week. Good luck to Gil, Nick, and Wendy over in Kona!! Just a head’s up:…
The Saturday training consists of participating in the final 2006 HURT Trail Series race. This is the 12 Hour Race. The race starts at 6:00 a.m. and ends at 6:00 p.m. The 2-1/2 mile route and more details are explained here and also at this link here. It’s a fun, low key race, so just…
With the Windward Half Marathon over, we can focus back on the trails. This Saturday we are planning on running a complete HURT loop starting in Manoa and going over to Nuuanu and then running to the Nature Center and finishing back in Manoa at Paradise Park. Yes, 20 miles of trail!! If you don’t…
AFTER RACE GET TOGETHER. Sunday’s Windward Half is pretty much of a Lark for most of the HURT gang. After all FLAT ROAD courses are not our usual fare. And it’s ONLY 13 miles. But it should be a great chance to just relax and have a good time. After the race you are…
From what I hear, this past Saturday some people did up to three repeats of Paradise to Nuuanu and back. That is great HURT training! For this coming Saturday, something different is planned. The group is planning to run one reverse Trek loop (10 miles) and then do multiple repeats up Hogsback, over the crossover…
Yes, this weeks training is the same as last week–just more repeats. Thanks to Paul Sibley for dropping aid in Nuuanu last week! Cheryl will again be leading this training for HURT VII. Come out and join the group for as little or as much as you can. My schedule will again keep me off…

There were many great performances. In the men’s race there was winner Josef Gyurke, followed by Nick Kaiser, Harald Ebeling…
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.
