Runners & Friends, Last year the H.U.R.T. 100 Mile Endurance Run was fortunate to have The Amateur Radio Operators of Honolulu, Hawaii handle race day communications and tracking of runners throughout the event. Once again this year the radio operators have committed to handle the same task but have moved the communications to a new…
You can find out your race bib number by clicking here. By now with the race just 30 days out, you should have your long training runs either completed already or you should be completing it by this weekend. After that it’s time to taper and enjoy the Holidays. Bob Murphy recently wrote me about…

In addition to all your training options, here is another. Planning to run 50 miles but not leaving at 4am – NOPE! Leaving at 4PM after work. Will depart from NC, do a double with a PP/JG repeat in the middle for 50ish. I’m not turning 50, but I thought 36 miles was too easy:) …

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.
