Aloha Athletes, Back by popular demand, Paradise to Nuuanu Repeats! If you are planning on doing the H.U.R.T. 100 this year, this is good training. One repeat is a good workout for any runner even if you are not doing the H.U.R.T 100. We always welcome any trail runners to join us. Meeting time: 5:50…
Aloha Runners, We had a record turn-out (41 I think?) for the Tantalus Triple Trek this past Saturday. Thanks to all the runners who came out and thanks to all the volunteers. Unfortunately I don’t have all the names but I know runners were very appreciative (I was) of the two aid stations at each…
Just results, click here. Great Race!!More later.
It started out good. I started out with Judy Carluccio and we quickly caught up on things since we last saw each other at HURT. The first couple of miles are on an old rail bed leading to the trail head. Once we got onto the trail, the climbing began. The weather was cool and…
Hey Runners, Just a reminder that this Saturday (August 30) is the Tantalus Triple Trek. The race starts at 5:30 a.m. so runners need to be up at the bathrooms by the Nature Center at least 30 minutes (5:00 a.m.) before the start of the race. We have been asked to not use all of…
We posted earlier about Vi’s Adventure Trek and Run. Here’s some photos of Vi and crew out training for the run. Click on any of the photo’s to enlarge them.
I am not a H.U.R.T. regular, but have pitched in from time to time to help with trail marking for your races, etc. Inspired by a recent story in Ultra Running magazine, some friends and I are planning a double crossing of the Grand Canyon on May 9, 2009 (47.5 Miles). While training on the…
Can anyone loan me a road bike for next Sunday’s Dick Evans Ride? I signed up for this, but discovered that the rules won’t let me use my tri-bike. I ride a 56cm Cervelo (32″ in-seam), so something of about that size would be great. You can contact me on 808-520-3680 or kaiser “at” hawaii.edu…
Reporting on this race as Cheryl went up to surprise former Honolulu resident, Judy Carluccio who was running the race and Cheryl was there to pace her. Judy ran a 29:06 and Rob Lahoe ran 30:16. There is a 32 hour cut-off for this race. H.U.R.T. 100 Runner, Jamie Gifford finished 5th overall with a…
The Nuuanu stash has been replenished to aid those who would like to start running HURT Loops early this year (see, e.g., comment section for the Saturday 8/23 training session). There’s plenty of liquids now (spring and distilled water, as well as 4 different flavours of sports drink), and, miraculously, the leftover snacks from earlier…
Aloha! I have an unopened 30 servings container of Hammer Nutrition Sustained Energy, Unflavored. I am not using it anymore and cant take it back so I would like to sell it for $30. I also have a Sugoi Running jacket that was worn once that I would like to sell for $50. The jacket…
Aloha Athletes ! With the Tantalus Triple Trek almost upon us (Saturday August 30) it’s time to get in some time on the Triple Trek course. Any ultrarunner worth his or her salt is already in great physical shape and will only be using this refresher run to get familiar with a few of 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.
