The 2006 version of the Mystery Run is officially postponed. As of the deadline (Sunday), we have 5 entrants. Last year we had 22! Very sorry but it’s way too much work and too long a night for 5 people. Perhaps training for HURT 6 has a big effect on entries, perhaps it’s just too…
This past weekend for me personally consisted of zero training. Not good! I did manage to get 20 road miles in at the Ho’omaluhia Botanical Garden on Friday. I can’t remember the last time I have run 20 miles on the road? My training schedule was pre-empted by coaching our two daughters in a soccer…

In my mind, the best way to train for the H.U.R.T. 100 is to get out on the course and put in the miles. Of course, living here in Hawaii makes that easy, the course is 20 minutes from my house. This past Saturday I ran two loops or 40 miles. It wasn’t fast (or…
Aloha Athletes ! Congratulations to all who came out and played in the mud last Saturday. It definitely reminded me of my childhood. A big Mahalo to both PJ for her aid station, and to Kat for her stash. Thanks girls ! With the clock ticking, we have another tough training day planned for this…
I am posting this H.U.R.T. 100 entrant list to let you know who is entered as of today. So far it looks like a lot of strong and fast women are planning on being in Honolulu on January 14th and 15th. I’ve heard talk of someone breaking 24 hours this year? Who’s going to do…
Hey I just checked the NYC web site and saw that there were 18 runners from Hawaii. Leading the Hawaii runners was H.U.R.T. runner Harald Ebeling with a time of 3:17:29 for a 7:31 pace. Our friend, Darin Mingo was the second Hawaii finisher with a time of 3:32:27 for a 8:05 pace. Congratulations to…

My own personal H.U.R.T. training was nil this past weekend as work and family (soccer) commitments kept me off the trails. I did get a new pair of Montrail Hardrocks (Fleet Feet Kailua is now stocking the Hardrocks) to replace my Highlines so I am ready to hit the trails. Somehow being ready to hit…
This time it’s not a whimpy 4 hour event. Limited to 20 brave souls. Friday night 11/25/05. At a location to be determined. Entries are by invitation based on a short (or not so short) essay on why you’re qualified to participate. Click here to see sample of 2004 essays….

This past Friday evening several of us met for a night training run on the H.U.R.T. 100 course. I should have known it was going to be one of those nights when I called Cheryl as I was leaving Kailua and she told me it was already raining pretty hard in Manoa. It was a…
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.
