Aloha Athletes ! In addition to multiple training venues on the HURT 100 course, several of us are venturing out to the Peacock Flats area this Saturday for some different views and terrain. Cheryl will be starting at the bottom of Long Road at 5:00 am, using my new flashlight from Fish. By the time…
There are multiple groups going out on Friday night to do night loops and into morning. I hear there is a 6 hour group heading out from the Nature Center around 6:00 PM ( not sure on the time parking at the water tank) There is also a slower group heading out from Paradise at about…
Just curious what shoes (brand and model) people are wearing these days? Post a comment as to what you are wearing and why you like it.

Hi Guys and Gals ! Yep, the heading is real…no mis-print…Monica Scholz is planning to break her own record for "most 100 mile finishes in a calendar year", starting with the HURT 100 on January 16-17, 2010 ! Her plan is "30" official 100 mile finishes, which will handily top her present record of 23,…
I am a bit hard put to identify those who did the longest distances this past week-end as few signed in or out, but it appears that the following people covered the most ground: Larry 60+ Harald 60 Frank 60 Congratulations to these guys. There was some nasty weather up there this weekend to accomplish this. I'd…
Everyone is Invited, family and friends too! As a thank you to all who donated, helped me, ran the trails, to celebrate the conclusion of the Trail Series, the start of HURT training, the wonderful place we live, and primarily to celebrate my recent birthday, I invite you all to come by the house and…
Aloha Athletes ! A busy day is planned for all who are training for HURT 10, starting at 6 am, that's 0600 to some, at the usual Manoa location, just before Paradise Park. If you plan your training day with at least a HURT loop, more for the faster runners, that should put you Johnny-on-the-Spot to…
Aloha All, For those of you like me, who have seen Fish's fantastic flashlight in action it's time to order. Cheryl just told me he would be ordering tonight ! They are a measly $30 and if you want one call Fish at 358-9130. Leave a message, if he doesn't answer. The only thing else…
Aloha Mike ! Although I can't speak for all of your ultrarunning buddies, I can speak for Cheryl, Rex, Rob, Ernest, Harald, Bozo, Gordon, Huddy, Frank and Larry when I say what a remarkable feat you have accomplished with your 60 hour birthday run. I'm sure Ed, Brenda and Fish, who were also out there on your behalf,…
Mike and Rex, walking back to the PP parking lot after Mike's epic 60hr Birthday Run, are approached by two students(?)… Dude1: Hi, do you have sec? We're conducting a little survey here. Did you come down this trail? Mike: Yeah. Rex: Dude, this guy is just wrapping up 60 hours on these trails. Dude1:…
60 hours of running, through three nights, on 30min of sleep. (I hope no kids are watching: don't try this at home.) I am not authorized to pass this on, but I will anyway: Mike says he realized only last night how selfish his endeavor was, and how heavily he was leaning on his friends…
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.
