My race report follows. Warning – It is long. Western States 2009 – Unexplored Resilience Western States 2009 was epic. Not because I had the race of my life (I didn’t) and not because I reached some higher consciousness (just a little confusion and inability to think); but because I went to new places with…

Hey all, I flew out to Loudonville, Ohio a couple of weekends ago (6/20-21) to pace a friend through the last 40 miles of the Mohican 100–her first 100 miler. She says she wasn't feeling it at all, but still finished well in 27:28 and 32nd overall. The trail was actually quite nice, and I'm just glad there…

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.
