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…

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…
Essential Week-by-Week Training Guide from Triathlete Magazine by Matt Fitzgerald.(2006) I have this book and have no need for it. If anyone wants it drop me a line and we can arrange a place where I can give it to you. mikem

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.
