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…

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…

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.
