I would like to extend my appreciation and many thanks to the HURT community my wife, Janel, and I met and ran with at the Tantalus Triple Trek. We truly had a great time, and with the great people I met on the trails, and the support of the HURT staff and volunteers, we will…
Aloha Athletes, Here are a couple of upcoming runs to put on your calendar: U.S.VETS helps homeless military veterans address whatever issues may have led to their homelessness and also helps them increase their income so they can transition into their own place. Our biggest fundraiser of the year is coming up in November. It…
Aloha Athletes, Yesterday's Tantalus Triple Trek was run under almost "perfect" conditions. Just the right amount of sun, mud, and fun to make sure everyone had a great time. I think there were slighly over 50 runners signed up for the 5:30 a.m. in the dark start. Of course the rabbits took off while the…

I dropped in on George at Queen's after going into another room first and seeing a rather large man that really didn't look like George! The other man was nice, but I needed to find the real George. Cancer takes its toll and too many of our HURT family see this. George was happy, alert and…
Join us for a birthday fun run! We will be running the Mariner's Ridge -> Kuli'ou'ou Loop (trail + road) to celebrate Scott's birthday. The loop will take about 3 hours (no idea how many miles it is), so carry plenty water. Meet at 7am at Island Brew Coffeehouse in Hawaii Kai (next to The…

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.
