Off to South Wales (land of nervous sheep) last weekend for the Brecon Beacons 19 mile, 4500' fell race. Shades of "Feet in the Clouds" on the high bits chasing people who I assumed knew where they were going across open bogs/moorland in wind, rain and zero visibility. Spectacular descent where many scooted down on…

Hi all: We plan on having one extra aid station at the Peacock 100 Km this year, probably at the entrance to Gordon's loop, where I was the first year we had the race. We are asking for a volunteer or two to take on this aid station. You will not need 4 wheel drive…
Continuing in my series of training runs for the UTMB, last weekend saw a change of venue as I headed down south ("dan saf" as they say here) via riot torn London to visit in-laws in Portsmouth and take part in the local Salisbury 5-4-3-2-1 trail run. The name derives from the fact that this…
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.
