Aloha Athletes, Happy (almost) Thanksgiving to everyone! I hope everyone has exciting plans to eat lots of turkey and spend time with good friends and family. I haven't come across any folks who are running on Saturday at 6, so I'm going to leave it open this weekend. If you'd like some company or want…

Aloha Athletes! Same routine this week, we'll meet at 6am at the Nature Center by the picnic table. Choose your distance and go as far as you like. I know I'll be doing lots of repeats down Nuuanu and up the steepest hills I can find. With the heavy rains and wind from this past…
Thursday Reverse Triple Trek Starting at 5:30pm If you want some night running, I'm planning on at least one reverse trek. With company, maybe more.

Aloha Athletes, Look familiar? Well it's that time of year again…HURT 100 training season is now fully underway and we're starting to get quite a bit more serious in to our training. Most Saturday runs from here through January will start from the Nature Center. If you aren't familiar with the trails, please make sure…
Aloha Athletes, This Saturday we'll be doing something new! Come join us on the Waimano Trail starting at 6am. The course was previewed last weekend and the trail is very run-able.

Aloha Athletes, This is a call for volunteers to lead the H.U.R.T. Saturday runs. This is your chance to be a lead and take the group to that trail you’ve always wanted to run (or hike). Any distance and any pace are absolutely fine. We typically see the largest turnout when we are branching out…
This weekend will mark the 6th running of the Peacock Ultramarathons! I'm amazed when I think back to the first Peacock 54 (or was it 56?). We had a total of 17 finishers who slid and sloshed through mid-shin deep mud for up to 17+ hours. I still have dents and scratches on my truck from when I…
Aloha Peacock Runners, I am planning to do my last training run via the Makai loop from Kealia (approximately 14.50 miles).

Aloha Athletes, Last week we mentioned that in lieu of an official run, many of us will be attending the Celebration of the Life of George Ramos Jr. For those who will be paddling out, if you are able to please bring a lei or flowers to scatter at the same time we scatter the…
Aloha Athletes, Jeff and Cheryl have been hard at work coordinating a trail work day on the Aiea Loop Trail (with DLNR's permission of course). Join H.U.R.T. and spend a morning giving back to the trails that give us so much in return. Please rsvp to Jeff if you would like to attend at: jwkfong…
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.
