Want to check out the "Run For George" course? There will be a group of us meeting at the Sunset Beach Elementary School this Saturday, 5/19 at 7 AM. We will be running the soon-to-be-famous "Run For George" loop. It's an awesome single track course that's mostly in the shade, with awesome views of the…
OK, here's the 411 on the Run For George… Click the pic… This race is going to be super fun! There is NO entry fee. It will be DONATION ONLY. 100% of all donations will go directly to George to help with his medical expenses. We would suggest $10, but more is better and less…
Last minute post, but I'd like any company willing to run by local time (be flexible that is). I'm starting around 7pm ish after all kids, wife and things are done. Leaving from the Maunawili Falls Trail gate, and just running for a while. Can't promise the exact start or end time so call or…
A new race has just been added to the HURT Trail Series schedule! On Saturday, May 26 at 7 AM, will be the "RUN FOR GEORGE". This will be a fundraiser for our good buddy, George Ramos, who is battling cancer. We've scheduled this the day before the "Paddle for George" event so you can…
Aloha Athletes, This week we are offering a typically, dry option for those of you still drying your shoes from this past Saturday's Run with a View. If you have never run Peacock, now is the time to do this. Of course, this is for early birds (and the fact some people think getting up…
Aloha Athletes, Great race today with wet and muddy conditions–perfect HURT weather. That's 2-years in a row. Race Director's Cheryl and Don did an incredible job organizing essentially an opening or kick-off party for Cinco de Mayo. There were muddy bodies and a lot of smiles at the finish. I know Cheryl and Don had…
Greetings friends, As most of you know, our buddy, George Ramos, is battling cancer. In addition to being a HURT runner, George is a legendary long distance paddle boarder, having completed EVERY Molokai crossing since it's inception. George has been out of work for several months now, and as it turns out, cancer ain't cheap! …
So I finally made it out to the SD100 course to scope it out…wow…how beautiful that course is going to be. I had to choose between sight seeing over the vistas or tripping down the trail…safety first of course! Goods and bads to every course. Its not quite the sustained climbing of HURT, but it…
Aloha Athletes: Start your Cinco de Mayo day off right with a trail run! The HURT Trail Series race will get your heart pounding with a nice climb up the road before continuing the climb up the trail. Hey, we wouldn't want it to be easy right? Race Start is 7:00 a.m. Distance: 8 miles…
Aloha Athletes, Last Saturday's run sounded like it was really fun. Some surprise runners–who helped everyone learn–just because you are fast, doesn't help you finish first if you don't know the route. In any case, back for another week of fun and to help everyone learn the route, another training day out on the Run…
Hi all, I thought of tapping into the collective wisdom of the HURT population to get some suggestions and/or advice on good running hydration backpacks and vests. Also where to get said packs. Thank you all for your opinions, Mark Speck.
Aloha Athletes, Well based on some comments I saw, Peacock was beautiful this past Saturday. Hope to make it up there sometime soon. This week though we are heading to do a preview of the course for the next HURT Trail Series race in May. The Run with a View course is a fun and…
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.
