Aloha athletes ! From everything we've heard, the 2010 Peacock 54 was a success, and if that's true, the success was totally due to the volunteers and the runners. The volunteers were the best ! Although someone's name will be missed, and I apologize, let's start with Rob Lahoe…what can I say???…Rob, we couldn't have…
Aloha Athletes, (Wily Woo Photo)RD Gordon kicked off the 2010 Peacock 54 with the announcement that it was the last and final Peacock 54. At first there were some stunned (maybe even disappointed) looks on people's faces. Gordon quickly changed all of that by continuing with the announcement that going forward, the Peacock would be…
Aloha Athletes ! Just talked with our good friend and "ultrarunning legend in her own time" Monica Scholz who was preparing for a flight to Arizona to do the Javelina Jundred, which will be her 22nd 100 mile finish for 2010 and her 108th 100 mile finish, total. I don't call her "The Ultimate Super Chick"…
Aloha Athletes ! This Saturday 10-23-10 is the 3rd running of one of the toughest 54 mile trail races anywhere…the Peacock 54 ! Gordon has marked the course, the Coke and Mountain Dew are ready and the weather report says sunny, so plan for "hot". It should be a fun day ! The gate will…

Aloha Athletes, Hey if you are not doing the Peacock 54 or going to Maui for XTERRA this next weekend, here is the perfect race. Christian Friis has asked if we could help promote this. "We will have our usual College race next Saturday, October 23, 2010, at Kualoa Ranch… We had to move the start…
Aloha Athletes, Just a reminder we have a couple of choices coming up for shorter trail races. The inaugural Gunstock Ranch Half Marathon race takes place on October 30th starting at 7:00 a.m. The entry fee is $35 dollars and there is an increase after October 15. This is new territory for us to run…
Aloha Athletes, Amazing! Something different. I've been told most runners are in taper mode for the Peacock 54 so wanting something a bit easier and change of venue this week. So, running from the top of Kaahele Street. We will park up near the end of the road or cul-de-sac. Let's start at 7:00 a.m….
Thank you, for the inspiration. Thursday night, I knocked out a 50km run, from Waipahu up to Schofield Barracks and up Kolekole pass, before heading home. I would not have even considered it without having spent the year reading your tales and talking story at the events and random encounters out there on the trails. …
Even for the trail/ultra die-hards out there who shun the roads and any distance less than a 100 miles, you have to watch the last 3 minutes of today's Chicago Marathon. Entered in the race were no less than 4 guys who had PR's in the 2:05's, all between the ages of 20-23. Wanjiru, 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.
