In a final report to the blog about this subject, since Marion’s idea to install a light in the parking lot at the NC, to help deter break-ins (her idea came up right after we had left the Neighborhood meeting 3 weeks ago) ), there was no other feedback from the blog group. We did…

Aloha Athletes ! HURT Training is ON. A lot of runners out this past Friday. I think a few on Saturday as well. For this week, we are planning something different. We will venture outside of the normal HURT loops and just plan a long day on the trails with a bit of road thrown…
Ultra running is unique in that many races allow the use of pacers or someone to run with a race participant after a certain designated distance or time. For the HURT 100, pacers are allowed anytime after 5:00 p.m. on Saturday or after 60 miles. The HURT 100 is scheduled for January 13 & 14,…

PJ is leading another work group into the woods. The workday will be 11-22, the day before Thanksgiving. We will meet at the back of Manoa and head up the trail at daybreak- 6:30 ish? I’ll pin the time down when we get nearer to the day. If that is an awful day for everyone,…
Training for HURT takes time, lots of time. We all have busy schedules and try to fit the training in as best we can. This year I have noticed people are training both day and night, whenever they can. I know it is not always possible to train with a group or even with another…
HURT runners are working hard to fit in training whenever they can. I know of at least one runner who is going to do 40 miles on Friday after not being able to get his 40 in last week. For many of us, after last week’s 40 miler, we are offering up something a bit…

There was ice on the car when I left my old Peace Corps buddy Wayne’s home in Las Cruces New Mexico. It may have warmed up a bit in the ten mile drive south to the Mesquite exit but it didn’t really matter much. It was still cold. Double the temperature and it would below…
Aloha Athletes, It’s time to do a double loop. Please note the 5:00 a.m. start time. As always, you can join us for part of the day or a portion of the HURT course. Don’t feel you have to go 40 miles if you just want to get some training or trail experience. Saturday Training…
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.
