Aloha ! At Run to the Sun, everyone has their own story and every story is different. In fact, our particular stories often differ drastically from year to year. The "people" stood out in my mind more this year than ever. It started with the race directors. Maybe I just knew more than ever before…
Wow – what a beautiful day to run up a mountain! Last year all I got was a T-shirt from Cheryl and had to listen to Matt Stevens talking about the awesome event. This year, I was back and enjoying everyone along the way. The dark start, smell of manure along the early roads, dancing…
Thirty-five years ago I made my first trip to the summit of Haleakala, by car, with my parents. It was a beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky. My Dad said "it is a great day to go to the crater". That became the family slogan whenever anybody in the family was on Maui…

This past Saturday, in a noble gesture to help get Don ready for Badwater, I awoke early and met the HURT crew out at Ho’omaluhia for some light training. Little did I know that Don’s Badwater quest has jacked up his aggression and intensity quite a bit, and that the smallest provocation can set him…

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.
