The Hawaiian Ultra Running Team (HURT) traces its roots back to the early 1980’s. This was the time of the running boom, when countless 10K’s and half marathons were held throughout the year  to help many Hawaiʻi runners prepare for the  Honolulu Marathon. There were very few trail runners, and even fewer ultra runners. The runners who sought trail runs or ultra endurance events became the core that formed the original HURT. HURT was founded with the mission of providing trail race events and ultrarunning events for the people of Hawaiʻi and elsewhere, all in an effort to promote and spread the joy of running long distances and running on trails.

In 2020, HURT incorporated and became a 501(c)(3) organization under the Road Runners Club of America and formally changed its name to HURT, Inc. While little has changed from the initial slogan of “No profits, no assholes,” HURT, Inc. updated its mission in order to continue the vision of our HURT founders.
