Running a 100 Miler at 64 in Canada (long version) It was interesting to see the looks of pity that I received as I limped thru the door of the Toronto airport. "Poor crippled old man" was written all over their faces. Little did they know that this "poor crippled old man" had just completed…

Don’t forget the Mango Madness Trail Series race is one week from Saturday on June 3rd. This race is billed as a 10+ mile run. It’s really easier than that since the last 5 miles are all down hill! The race starts at 7:00 a.m. Entry fee is just $10! Show up by 6:30 a.m….

Aloha everybody, I know this ain’t running, but this past weekend, my friend Ken, at the age of 60 years young, completed a life dream by paddling solo across the Ka’iwi Channel. After six and a half hours, unending 15 foot seas and having a big tiger shark cruise his kayak, he pushed beyond his…

I found this information on post-race recovery at Scott Dunlap’s blog to be pretty interesting. Scott recently completed Miwok and offered up some good tips on his blog that work for him. Check it out here! What do you do for recovery? Click on Comments to let us know! Barbi and I were out on…
Aloha Runners, Just a few quick notes… A. Beginning May 22, 2006 the Kanealole and Maunalaha trailhead access will be closed. Construction work for ADA compliance will be ongoing for a minimum of 4-5 months (weather permitting). This means: 1. The small concrete bridge (HURT 100 Start) will be closed off for renovation….

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.
