Aloha Athletes, First a huge Mahalo to Marian and Neal for putting on an awesome race today. Neal's aid station had nice cold water and lots of support. It was fun to hear the cheers running into the aid station and the people there helping were awesome in getting us back out on the trail…
While Marian and Sarah were running Headlands, a few of us got together for a final "goodbye" to Gerry Brotherton, who passed away last November. He was the oldest living member of HURT (89). Gerry was one of the first ultrarunners in Hawaii, with an obsession for the more adventurous runs like "Telluride Get High",…

I spoke with Neal at 5:00 am today. Marian and Sarah are doing very well and were expected to arrive at the aid station at mile 96 at any minute. They are cold, wet and shivering from running all night in the fog, but are still smiling.

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.
