Aloha Athletes, This weekend Melanie will be out on course for a full 20 mile HURT loop. This is mostly to give the pacers a chance to get out there and run the loop prior to race day. If you aren't sure of the course, I would highly advise that you bring a buddy who…

Aloha Athletes, First off, regarding my post last week, I wanted to give a sincere thank you to those who signed up to lead a Saturday run or two. It is very, very much appreciated! This week, we're once again joining forces with the Soul Runner herself, Melanie. She'll be leading runners around Manoa for…
Aloha Athletes, We're taking it up to the North Shore this Saturday! For a change in scenery we'll be running up on Pupukea. That's right, the awesome, used-to-be-secret trails of the Pupukea Paumalu Forrest Reserve, with some of the best views of the North Shore surf breaks you can imagine. Meet at 8 AM…
Aloha Athletes, This is a call for volunteers to lead the H.U.R.T. Saturday runs. 'Tis the time of year when the trail series is over, folks are busy training for the HURT 100, and run leaders become harder and harder to find due to the hectiness of the holiday season. Many others are also simply…
Aloha Athletes, Sign up for the 2015 H.U.R.T. Trail Series is now open. We welcome our new Race Directors Arvel & Benita who will be taking care of us at the Kaena Point Firecracker run; Steve V. who will jump in as co-director with me for Run with a View; as well as a migration…

For fun, see if you can find the Christmas trees decorated along the way although many of the ornaments have blown off…
Aloha Athletes, Just a quick note to announce that there will not be an organized training run for Saturday November 15th. But if you're signed up for the H.U.R.T. 100 don't take that as a sign to take the day off! The trails of Tantalus await you and are open any time.. Look forward to…
Aloha Athletes: First, I would like to say a big mahalo to those volunteers that worked hard last Sunday with Na Ala Hele to get the trail system into fantastic shape! I was not there, but I know these folks worked very hard: Mike Cole, Augusto Decastro, Steve Clemons, Iris Oshiro, Sandi Kanemori, Jim Masterson,…
Aloha Athletes: Happy Halloween! Is it possible that November is already here? What happened to October? I have a sinking feeling that the next 11 weeks are going to pass by at warp speed and H.U.R.T.100 will be upon us before we know it. Hopefully you will consume enough carbohydrates in the form of candy…
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.
