Aloha Athletes, Just in case you have not noticed, the 2011 HURT Trail Series schedule is posted on the top left side of the site. The HURT Trail Series remains one of the best ways to get trail run experience, learn the trails in a fun way, meet other trail runners, and is one of…
Aloha Athletes, After every race we always are either looking for items or have extra items. Please contact us if you are missing something and we can post it here. Right now we are looking for a grey women's hoodie sweatshirt. I believe it is Lululemon brand and zips. It was lost at the Nature…

Aloha Athletes ! Well folks, most of the mud has been washed away from runners' legs for another HURT 100. Cheryl thought it would be fun to have a workout at Hoomaluhia Botanical Garden and meet afterward inside the Garden for a potluck. So here's the plan: meet at 7:00 am at the entrance to…

Yesterday I posted photos from the start of the 2010 HURT 100 and early on loop 1. Today I want to post photos from the finish. I combined Disc's 5 & 6. This is what you want to visualize—see yourself at the finish on Sunday.
These photos show the start and early stages of loop 1. Again the photos were taken by Peter Daspit.
Aloha Athletes, It is the week many in our local ultra community have worked hard for all year. I want to wish the best to those running this weekend in the HURT 100. Runners entered in this weekend's race have worked hard and long, putting in the needed hours to train for a 100-mile race….
Aloha Athletes, In what has become a pre-race tradition, we will be running a reverse trek loop starting at the Nature Center at 7:00 a.m. on Saturday. This run will be an easy 10-mile cruise (easy because you are ready to run 100 miles in a week, right?) and typically has included some early arrivals…
The Jack-ass stash has been refilled for those who don't need to take an extended vacation from training before the HURT. The black plastic bags have 10 1.5 liter bottles, there are a few gallon containers as well. All empties, near empties, and trash has been cleared. ALSO: A VERY large tree has fallen across the set-up area of the…
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.
