Aloha Athletes: Happy Halloween! Is it possible that November is already here? What happened to October? I have a sinking feeling that the next 11 weeks are going to pass by at warp speed and H.U.R.T.100 will be upon us before we know it. Hopefully you will consume enough carbohydrates in the form of candy…
Aloha Athletes: Okay gang, this Saturday marks exactly 12 weeks out from the H.U.R.T. 100-Mile Endurance Run. If you have not started to ramp up your training yet, it is time to put on your big-kid pants and get yourself onto the lovely trails of Tantalus. This Saturday’s training will be Paradise Park to Jack-Ass…
Aloha Athletes: The Saturday training run will be a ROAD loop of Tantalus, starting from the Nature Center at 5:30 a.m. This is from Department of Land and Natural Resources: OAHU >> All state parks will be closed Saturday, until further notice. There will be no Friday night camping in park campgrounds. All…
Aloha Athletes: Rosie and Steve are off on an epic adventure, so I am filling in for blog posts for a bit. Big shoes to fill, but I am going to give it my best effort. There will be no organised trail training run for the H.U.R.T. family because so many people are spread around…
Aloha Athletes! Ready for something different? Tapering and want to do shorter mileage the week before Peacock? Come join me at Hau'ula loop trail on Sunday at 8am for as many loops as you'd like to do. Each loop is 2.5 miles, with scenic views of the forest as well as the ocean and valleys….
Aloha Athletes, Huge thanks to (Left to right): Kimo, Josh, Kelly, Judy, Eric, Glen, Bud. Not pictured: Jacque T. and Jeff F.

Aloha Athletes! It's that time again, when the mileage starts getting up in to those crazy digits and we lose entire days and weekends to the pull of the trail. The Peacock Ultramarathons date is approaching quickly, in a mere 3.5 weeks many will be toeing the line to challenge themselves in new and unique…
Aloha Athletes, Yes you heard that right, this Saturday's run will be starting at the extra special hour of 4am! Set those alarms, throw an extra shot of espresso in your coffee, and come romp with us along the moonlit trails for Cheryl's last Peacock run before she leaves for Bend in October. We'l be…
Aloha Athletes, As you know, last weekend Triple Trek marked the official end of the H.U.R.T. trail series for 2014. We look forward to seeing you all next year and thank each and every one of you for coming out and making it a success! Now is the time where runners start to get quite…
Aloha Athletes, Just wanted to post a quick correction to the results from yesterday, they can be seen here. There was a minor mixup in the top 3 male finishers. Congrats to all of the top finishers on their victories and a special congrats to all the ladies who dominated this race. Way to go ladies!…
Aloha Athletes, The 2014 Tantalus Triple Trek was held today. Here is a shot of Rosie and Cheryl all ready for runners at their aid station. I stole all of these photos off Cheryl's FB page! A combination of things kept me from the race today–disappointing to say the least. 2014 Tantatus Triple Trek Results…
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.
