The Kalahari Augrabies Extreme Marathon 2010 My adventure began on the 12th October 2010 with an extreme travelthon from Hawaii to South Africa, eventually arriving in Johannesburg 36 hours later. It was at the hotel in Johannesburg that I met Chanleigh and it turned out that her and I were joined at the hip for…
Aloha Athletes ! "Same song…another verse"…Manoa to Jackass repeats…6 am at the end of Manoa Rd. By the way, there is someone who I forgot to thank for helping-out at the Peacock 54…Larry Inouye ! Larry is the very important person who gets permission to use the airfield facility for the race. No permission…no race….
Many thanks to all of you who participated in Vi’s annual Trek at Kualoa! All the usual old HURT course marshals manned the course (Bill & Punkin’ Burgess, Christine Begy, Steve Villiger, Clem Alec-Gorai, MikeM, Cheryl Loomis, Keith Moon’s lovely daughter Morgan, Rex Vlcek, Sean Price), dressed in costume! We had about 120 runners on…

Gordon has a few items from the race. 1) one military backpack with the name "Cecere" on it 2) one soft blue round cooler with pizza inside ( since thrown away) 3) one soft black cooler 4) one headlamp ( need to describe to claim and know brand) My question, since this was the last…
Aloha athletes ! From everything we've heard, the 2010 Peacock 54 was a success, and if that's true, the success was totally due to the volunteers and the runners. The volunteers were the best ! Although someone's name will be missed, and I apologize, let's start with Rob Lahoe…what can I say???…Rob, we couldn't have…
Aloha Athletes, (Wily Woo Photo)RD Gordon kicked off the 2010 Peacock 54 with the announcement that it was the last and final Peacock 54. At first there were some stunned (maybe even disappointed) looks on people's faces. Gordon quickly changed all of that by continuing with the announcement that going forward, the Peacock would be…
Aloha Athletes ! Just talked with our good friend and "ultrarunning legend in her own time" Monica Scholz who was preparing for a flight to Arizona to do the Javelina Jundred, which will be her 22nd 100 mile finish for 2010 and her 108th 100 mile finish, total. I don't call her "The Ultimate Super Chick"…
Aloha Athletes ! This Saturday 10-23-10 is the 3rd running of one of the toughest 54 mile trail races anywhere…the Peacock 54 ! Gordon has marked the course, the Coke and Mountain Dew are ready and the weather report says sunny, so plan for "hot". It should be a fun day ! The gate will…

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.
