Aloha Athletes ! In the interest of safety and getting a good workout, we are changing the Saturday Training run. We will still be meeting at Pali Lookout and starting at 6:00 am, but will be running down Old Pali Highway to Hoomaluhia Garden (instead of over to Waimanalo). We are all sick of running…
Aloha Athletes ! Gordon went to get the parking permits for the Peacock Flats training run, scheduled for April 8 and was told that due to the extensive rains, permits were not being issued at this time. It seems that the City and County feels the area is overly dangerous at this time and any…

Aloha Athletes ! Break out the fleece ! Hopefully we will not be needing it, but considering that the weather on Haleakala summit at 1pm yesterday afternoon was 40F with a wind chill of 32F, be prepared for anything. The overall weather report looks good, but don’t be surprised if we get a little rain….
Aloha HURT Runners! For all of you headed over for Run to the Sun, have a Great Race! Am posting the Makiki Wai work schedule for 2006. This is a great opportunity for runners and family to "give back" to Na Ala Hele and the trail system we run on. See you on Maui! Mike…
La Sportiva and Golite have launched a new web site promoting trail running and their mountain running team. Click here to check out the site!
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.
