Several months ago when Mike Muench told me that he was planning to do four (4) 100 milers over a 7 week period, I have to admidt that I was taken back a bit. However, as he explained it, it sounded reasonable from an ultrarunner’s mentality. He planned to fly to the mainland and drive…
I searched for the photos however it’s probably a good thing I couldn’t find them. What photos? The ones of Matt’s heel after last year’s HURT 100. I was looking for some photos of him finishing the race, tired, muddy and pretty much beat up, looking like many of us do after 100 miles. I…
Aloha Athletes ! It’s back to normal HURT 100 training this Saturday with a HURT loop, starting at Manoa at 6:00 am. In case you haven’t done this routine, just drive mauka on Manoa Rd. to where the road narrows, just before Paradise Park, and park. Please try to be there by 5:50 am and…
Aloha Runners, Check out the updated H.U.R.T. 100 entrant list. If you were in before, you’re still in (unless you have asked out), if you were wait listed before, you may now be in. Huffer
Alright, we have a few options with Rob and myself. I’m leaving earlier than Mr. Rob, around 5:00pm and will pace the loop at 4:30 – 4:45 hours. Departing from NC with no stash planned, although I may stash some at JG if I can manage with my son in tow tonight. Splits for planning:…
Once I saw the planned training run this weekend at Gordon’s secret spot I was excited and had planned on being there. However scheduling conflicts with my wife have made it necessary for me to do another night run on Friday. I’ll be leaving from the water tower near the Nature Center at 8PM. My…
The running of the Maui Marathon this past weekend reminded me of something else on Maui. However, first congratulations must go out to Julie Doheney of Kailua and FleetFeet Sports. Julie ran a personal best by over 25 minutes and won the women’s race with a time of 3:18! All results can be found here….
Aloha Athletes ! It’s time to "kick it up a notch" and return to Gordon’s Secret Training ground, the beautiful Peacock Flats. There are views that will knock your socks off ! It’s also a guarantee that your heartrate monitor will reach virgin territory with this challenging route. Unless you are familiar and comfortable with…
The Lost Soul: Lethbridge Alberta Canada. Fifty K, Hundred K, Hundred Miler. Sept 14th and 15th (Friday and Saturday) Billed as the Toughest Race on the Prairie. Never let it be said that the ultra runners of Alberta Canada do not give themselves a challenge of the highest degree. They call the Lost Soul 100…
Well, I guess I missed (and upset) a couple of people by not putting enough info out last Friday for my night loops. I’m thinking about doing it again tonight, but don’t like being the only one on the trails–so if your interested please give me a call at 392-4815. If I can get others…
I came across this and it looks pretty cool. It’s a hydration vest that includes what looks like a pretty good LED headlight and two taillights. There is a trail, road, and bottle pack option. Check it out here. The Speedgoats (Karl Meltzer and Scott Mason) were talking up the Petzl e+lite. You can read…
I now have by second 100 miler under my belt. My last 100 miler was the HURT100 in 2003. After that run, I was a complete mess. My hydration was non-existent, I didn’t know what to do with electrolytes, and I never grasped the importance of eating. Even though I finished the HURT100 in 2003,…
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.
