Well, this year was particularly challenging for me personally. Between my Crohn’s related health challenges and some unexpected and rather frustrating photography equipment technical challenges this certainly wasn’t my finest performance. Thankfully there were several other dedicated photographers out there working hard to capture the memories for as many of the runners, pacers, crew &…

This Saturday we'll be doing our annual recovery run/shuffle/walk whatever you decide to make it. Please come out and share your stories and enjoy some good times with friends. Meet at the…
I'm looking for a partner for Trans-Alpine this year. It's an 8 day stage race through the Alps Aug30-Sep6. You can learn more about it here and see the exciting videos. It is only open to teams of 2. It's a bit pricey, and a long way from Hawaii of course, but maybe mainland hurtsters may be…
Aloha Athletes, We know most of you will be out at the HURT 100 this weekend. For many it is the culmination of months of training, for others you will be there volunteering at an aid station, serving as a pacer or safety patrol. However if you can't get out, you have a couple of…
Sitting around the house, freaking out because you're tapering? Trying to mentally prepare for the HURT 100 and find yourself closing your eyes trying to remember the course? Don't know what to do on that long 6 hour flight over to Hawaii and want to see what the course looks like?Well I have the solution…
For those that might not be part of the HURT100 Facebook group… For those that want a little preview/reminder of what’s to come. Trail conditions could be totally different than what’s pictured in these though since some of them are three years old now. View at your own risk. Warning: May cause extreme desire to…
Aloha Athletes and Happy New Year! For those running, pacing, and volunteering at the HURT 100 we are a mere 10 days away! We are planning to run a reverse Trek loop (~10 miles) at an easy pace this Saturday starting at 7:00 a.m. from the Nature Center. Invite your pacer's and let's get a…
Leaving from Paradise Park around 5pm for a night crawl. Likely last long run, so slow and steady (and safe). Plan for a loop plus repeat. Parking below the bus stop on Manoa Rd. Lights, food, umbrella (jk) and good attitude. Come for a few miles, a few hours or less. If you need to…
Aloha Athletes, Just a quick post to say there won't be an official training this upcoming Saturday. See you the following weekend for our annual pre H.U.R.T. 100 trek loop. Details will be posted soon. Happy New Year!
Thank you everybody for your quick response to our request for volunteers. We have now filled the schedule of shifts for food prep and runner servicing! However, we still need to confirm who is able to show up at 5pm Sunday to help with the aid station shut-down. What's involved is a gradual process…
Aloha Athletes, I hope you are able to take some time to relax and enjoy the company of family and good friends as we come to the year's end. We are looking forward to 2014 and have posted the schedule for the 2014 HURT Trail Series. There is a link below as well as on…
Aloha Athletes, This Sunday, we'll be heading back for another trail run/hike at Ka'ahele led by Cheryl. This is the same hike from Dec 14th, we want to get in another run before it gets overgrown again and we hope to see lots of smiling faces. Same plan, meet at the park at 6:30 AM…
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.
