Ok Sean Miesser has won. Fukio from Japan second and Jamie Armstrong from Canada third. I was awoken by a loud thunderclap this morning at about 4:30 a.m. I guess that was my due for not toeing the line at the start of Run to Sun this year as that is about the start time….
Well I am back to running, on the road at least. My knee feels good and isn't swollen. I have run 20 miles so far this week. I get to transition to "trail" (soft dirt path) soon. Look out Peacock and Pupukea:) I want to thank everyone for their support, especially my family. The physical therapist has…
According to last night's weather report, and the fact that the weather on Haleakala can be more extreme than at sea-level, I pulled-out some winter clothing and even some gloves to take to Run to the Sun. You might want to do the same. There's a drop bag location at the Ranger Station/Visitor Center at…

Dirty Girls and I am not talking gaiters (or anything else Murphy!). Some HURT ladies went for a romp in the swamp at the annual Swamp Romp out on the Kaneohe Marine Base this morning. According to PJ, here's the pictures of the skankiest HURT women ever (sans Barbi- boo hoo). Click here to view….
I got two new CD's of photos this week from two different photographers. Jack Gibbons volunteered at the Nuuanu/Jackass Aid Station and took some great photos there. You can see Jack's photos here. Stan Jensen volunteered for the entire weekend and has shots from the pre-race meeting until the end of the dinner. His photos…

Aloha Athletes ! Run to the Sun training is almost pau, with this Saturday beginning the taper process. If you are not nursing an injury, you still have time to get in one more good workout. This Saturday we will return to our standard training route…Manoa/Tantalus Rd. repeats, starting at 6:30 am at the ol'…
I thought you guys would like to know a little bit about the Trail Advisory Council- we meet every other month (just met Tuesday 2/17) to let Aaron, the Na Ala Hele Trail Technician (the main guy up there) bounce ideas off of us regarding current and future handling of NAH trails. There are reps…
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.
