(I added a few more photo’s on Monday from PJ) Yesterday’s race was held under slightly damp conditions. OK, it was wet and muddy. Though the sun was out at the finish! I thought it might be a wet race when on Friday morning driving to work, it poured down rain so hard I could…
I was listening to NPR yesterday and they were talking about this 8 year old girl who ran 2,212 miles in 55 days (about 40 miles a day). You can read (or listen) to the story here. I thought a lot of people here might find the story interesting, but I hope it doesn’t upset…
This year we were granted the privilege of having the Permit process waived. (VERY IMPORTANT) This was based on our smaller numbers (we eliminated the 10 mile race from this event) and our promise that we would get everyone parked outside of the Nature Center (on Makiki Heights Street, including down by the Board of…
My original plan for this past Sat., was to run my Triple Trek loops, (since I do an aid station for the race), and be happy to get it done. While chatting with Don,,,I asked him if he wanted to do a couple loops with me if I kept going,,,and to see if anyone wanted…
It beat us up bad, no opinions to the contrary. Everyone has blisters and muscle problems and we are all hobbling around and making those long groaning sounds when we stand up or sit down. Mean and brutal are the common assessments of the Lean Horse experience for the HURT team members. Unpaved road, should…

The Tantalus Triple Trek is September 1. This race is part of the H.U.R.T. Trail Series and is one of the best runs in the series. It’s three loops and as I like to describe it, 5 miles up and 5 miles down. It’s the only race I know of that you get to run…

Costco Honolulu (Headlamp) Costco Honolulu has a Raovac headlamp available K2 LED. Three double AA batteries in rear module. Well built, 85 lumens creates a knock down bright spot. I lit up my large yard like it was a night game at Dodger stadium. Price was around 25 bucks. If you are looking for a…
Next week Monday, Mike Muench will be leaving for the mainland and Canada for an ambitious series of ultramarathons over the next several weeks. In the mix are four 100 milers, starting with Lean Horse next weekend, and finishing with the Bear, with only one or two weeks between each of the four. Mike’s last…
With the next race in the H.U.R.T. Trail Series being the Triple Trek (on September 1), we thought we had better spend some time out on the course. This is a good time to learn the course especially since last year, some people, some how got lost. (???) So…Trek Loops Meeting time: 5:50 am Starting…
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.
