The annual TriLanai 3Hills 50Mile Bike Ride has added an ultrarun option – this is your chance to participate in the inaugural running of a new Hawaii ultrarun course, and will be the first official ultrarunning event to be offered on the beautiful island of Lana'i. This road run is being added to an established…
Last week we had a lot of posted comments on when and where people were going out! Let's continue that this week as well. Lots of people need the encouragement and opportunity. Nothing more harsh than going out on yer own in the rain and dark. Fun, but harsh, no? Also please post…
Everyone who contacted me or AJ over the past couple of weeks to volunteer for the HURT Patrol should have received an email today with more details (and more questions) regarding the Patrol's mission and the scheduling of shifts. If you are interested in helping the Patrol and did not get today's email, please get…
Aloha Race Directors and others, I have corresponded with all the Trail Series RDs recently, and everyone replied indicating the missing tables and coolers were not in their possession. We know the stuff is out there somewhere (three orange drink coolers, two big white Costco tables, and one shorter white Costco table). RDs, please think…
For Saturday the post time is 6:00 AM and the distance is a HURT Loop. The Departure point is the top of Manoa Road, as parking is easier and usually safer there. Check out the HURT turkeytrot loop in the previous post. If you are going out at another time, please post it…
Are you looking for a way to burn off a few extra calories after Thanksgiving dinner? Well here’s your solution. A few of us are planning to do a Thanksgiving night double HURT loop. A what?? That’s right, a T-Day double. Here’s the plan: Enjoy your Thanksgiving meal with friends and family. Eat that second…
Anyone interested in fast-packing the Manaslu circuit in Nepal with me next fall (late Oct or early Nov)? Here's some pictures to whet your appetite. If you have United FF miles, you can get there for a mere 90,000 miles 😉 Mail me at runningmachine.nick AT gmail DOT com if you are interested. Nick.
So all the indecision is out of this equation. Either you is or you aint. If you is then the concept of this Saturday's training is going to get really familiar. Don't you Live Here? Time: 6:00 AM Place: Nature Center What: Whatever that thing is in the picture. Parking: Lots…
Mike M at the Back of the Pack Don called me a few days before Peacocks, excited by the upcoming race, more excited than I that’s for sure. I was dreading it. Pecocks had come up on me far too fast, allowing very little training. I’d done Are’s twice, the Lower Loop twice and…
Training Time: 6:00am Saturday Place: Top of Manoa Road–Street Parking What: Manoa/Jack ass Repeat(s) 12 miles a pop. For those who have had their fill of Peacocks, and I realize there are some who just dig that gig, we will be returning for another Run Through the Jungle. Its Mud City Central up there right now…
http://warriordash.com/register2012_hawaii.php This looks similar to a HURT loop during a rainstorm. Maybe not the "leaping over fire" part, but the rest seems normal.
Finished! All photos I felt were worth processing and posting have been. It was actually quicker and much more enjoyable to pace Loop 2 than it was to do all this post event processing but that’s all part of capturing and preserving the memories in the best possible way. The views and scenery at Peacock…
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.
