The healthcare team did not accurately…
I will be scheduling a couple of trail maintenance days during the first 3 weeks of December. It’s hard to get in work days around training and the holidays, but it is the best time to clean up the trail so the training runners can enjoy it a little, and so the trails will settle…
Aloha Athletes ! We will be returning to the HURT 100 course for two HURT 20 mile loops, starting at 6:00 am at Paradise Park. Please park in the usual location at the end of Manoa Rd. just before it narrows, heading back to Paradise Park. Please try to be there by 5:50 am, so…
Aloha Athletes ! We’ve been planning for several weeks to do the Peacock Preview this Saturday, but are still waiting to get the green light from the powers that be. Gordon is hoping to get approval, but you just never know in these matters. Hopefully we will hear by Thursday afternoon, but if not, we’ll…
Cheryl and I were just out to do a clean up at one of the drops and make sure it was stocked for the Friday/Saturday training sessions. It didn’t take us long to clean things up, and restock and we were ready to go back to the cars. Standing there on the trail, it was…
Here’s a couple of pictures from Mike’s Birthday Breakfast. The menu: Breakfast burrito’s with eggs, turkey bacon, cheese, salsa and sour creme, fruit, and coffee. Hmmm? Could be a sign of things to come for a certain aid station in Nuuanu. Click on each to enlarge them.
Aloha All, We have just posted a new informational update on the H.U.R.T. 100 page. You are all encouraged to check it out. Huffer.
I have just gotten home after finishing 60 plus miles of Manoa-Nuuanu repeats. I completed this in 24 hours and 30 minutes. It was a birthday run and set for at least 58, so it can be regarded as a success. I had hoped to do a 100K and perhaps did so depending how…
For those of you with memories as short as my own I would like to re-invite you to join me this Friday night for a series of repeats in celibration of my bitrhday. I will be providing ample stashes at both ends for all on the trails this week-end.. The pairadice stash will be up…
Is anyone interested in running 50 miles on Saturday? The plan would be to start around 3:30am from the Nautre Center side. Do 2 HURT loops and a reverse Triple Trek Loop. I would like to be done before 6pm. I will provide a stash at Paradise Park. If interested you can e-mail me at…
Well, the thunder should have given me a hint. The winds that broke my deck umbrella another clue. And the mud flowing over my retaining wall, just a slight idea that the trails may be damp. Since I have a pre-negotiated schedule with my wife, I didn’t have a choice. So come Sunday morning during…
While in UK the last couple of weeks, I managed to fit in the Snowdonia Marathon in N. Wales (land of nervous sheep!). When I signed up, I assumed it was off-road up the mountain, but in fact it is 95% road and goes around Mt. Snowdon. Nonetheless, it is a kick-ass run. It starts…
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.
