Today, Carol and I went for a short Christmas run. We ran to where Nick K. reported fallen trees on December 22. We arrived at the fallen trees around 1 PM. There were two trees, both with trunks the diameter larger than my bow saw could handle. We did manage to clear some of the larger branches…
Aloha Athletes ! 2010 has been an amazing year for the HURT family of runners ! There's been so many new faces out there that I certainly can't begin to count them all. Every HURT Trail Series race for 2010 broke attendance records ! It's been an exciting year. John, PJ and Jeff have been…
couple of trees down on Nuuanu (just above the rope that hangs across the big slippery rock). Where's Ed and his nifty saw when you need him 😉 Have alerted Aaron – he said he'd get onto it in the new year. Nick K.

Aloha Athletes, I just learned of this great deal and wanted to pass it on. I go back and forth between using technology like this and not using it. I also realize there are lots of competitive products and review sites out there. I learned of this most recent deal from DC Rainmaker and a…

The Ultraman World Championships was indeed the cap on my incredible racing career. It is difficult for me to put into words the experience I went thru, circumnavigating the Big Island by swim, bike and run….320 miles in 3 days with a 12 hour cut-off for each day.This was not a "race"….it was all about…

I hope a few of you can help new guy Brandt get familiar with HURT hospitality and comraderie. It's still alive. This Saturday, I've been told by Cheryl that the place to be is at…
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.
