Aloha Athletes ! You might know that when I have to miss a Saturday Training run that it will be one of the best…EVER ! A BIG mahalo goes to Gordon Lau for setting up this fun Kaahele/Waimano run, for clearing trail, for putting out the huge stash for all to enjoy and for almost…
Gordon maps out an adventure….one way or the other. Gordon Lau got the highest praises from all for his planning and implementation of last Saturday’s training run. It was an adventure through new and uncharted (for most of the HURT crowd) areas around Ka’ahele and Waimano. It would be hard to elaborate the full extent…
Aloha Athletes ! We have a special treat planned for this Saturday. Gordon Lau has graciously volunteered to lead us on a new run, starting at the trailhead at the top of Kaahele and taking us on (for me) some new trails over to the Waimano trailhead, and back. This route is called the Kaahele/Waimano…
Aloha Athletes ! With the Miwok 100k only 4 weeks from Saturday, we need to dial-up the mileage for the fortunate ones who will be making the trip to the Bay area for this beautiful race. Saturday Training 4-08-06 "Cheryl’s Ball Buster 40" Meeting time: 5:50 am Starting time: 6:00 am "sharp" Meeting place: Cheryl’s…
Aloha Athletes ! In the interest of safety and getting a good workout, we are changing the Saturday Training run. We will still be meeting at Pali Lookout and starting at 6:00 am, but will be running down Old Pali Highway to Hoomaluhia Garden (instead of over to Waimanalo). We are all sick of running…
Aloha Athletes ! Gordon went to get the parking permits for the Peacock Flats training run, scheduled for April 8 and was told that due to the extensive rains, permits were not being issued at this time. It seems that the City and County feels the area is overly dangerous at this time and any…
Aloha Athletes ! Congratulations to all that participated in last Saturday’s Run to the Sun. We were fortunate to have great weather (in between 2 storms that hit Maui). A big Mahalo to all the volunteers, especially the co-race directors, HURT’s Big John Salmonson and Valley Isle Road Runner’s Bram Denhaan. Great job, guys !…
Aloha Athletes ! On Saturday April 8, we are planning a special training run at Peacock Flats. Gordon Lau has been gracious to volunteer to coordinate everything, including parking permits, and to lead us around the area. If you plan to go, and especially if you plan to drive up to the top, please let…
Aloha Athletes ! We continue our Run to the Sun taper with an easy, short run around part of our Manoa course and one Tantalus Rd. (less Concrete Hill). See ya there ! Saturday Training 3-18-06 Meeting time: 5:55 am Starting time: 6:05 am Meeting place: Hawaii Nature Center lower parking lot Training: approx. 7…
Aloha Athletes ! With Run to the Sun only 2 weeks from Saturday, if you’re not in shape by now, it’s too late to worry about it. So, you might as well join us for our beginning taper run. It should be relaxed and fun ! Saturday Training 3-11-06 "Manoa+Tantalus Rd./Concrete Hill" Meeting time: 5:55…
Aloha Athletes ! We had a wonderful, rain-free training run at the Hoomaluhia Botanical Garden and up to Pali lookout (3 repeats) last Saturday. With Run to the Sun only 3 weeks from this Saturday, it’s time to do our long training run before beginning to taper. We will return to our Manoa/Tantalus Rd. to…
Aloha Athletes ! We were fortunate to have another beautiful day of Run to the Sun training on Tantalus on Saturday. By popular demand, we will be returning for the next two Saturdays for our Hoomaluhia Botanical Garden/Pali Lookout training. We would love to have you join us for as many loops as you can…
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.
