On August 1st, Erik Herman and I are taking our love of the outdoors and putting them to the test to fastpack the 222-mile John Muir Trail in 6 days. While this is our goal, we are doing this to bring a little more hope to those affected by cancer. We setup a website and…
For All of the Brave Souls Who Dare to Face Off With the Bad Ass Pigs:This Saturday is the fifth race in the HURT Trail Series 09. The Maunawili Out and Back is a 22-mile trail run that starts and ends at the Pali Lookout. The race can be done solo or as a 2-person…
This Saturday is one week before the Maunawili Out and Back Trail Race of the H.U.R.T. Trail Series. Some people were complaining the trails were too dry so it has rained pretty good over the last 12 hours or so. Enough to keep the dust down anyway. Other people were complaining about the distance being…
Boy, just when you thought it was safe to go outside……… As you may remember, Super Pig did an incredible job of foiling the evil plot of Leatherface and Scar. It seemed as though the Maunawili Out and Back would go off without a hitch. Well, I guess HURT counted their eggs before they hatched….
This is my last hike before taking time to rest. When – Sunday at 6:30AMWhere – Maunawili Falls Trailhead to Nuuanu Trail ridge bench and backDistance – About 18 miles and about 8ish hours I'll stash a few liters of water at the Pali Lookout to resupply each way. This is a hike at about 2-3…
Aloha Athletes ! In case you missed last Saturday's Maunawili Trail run, don't fret…you can join us this Saturday and enjoy some great trail running, including some muddy sections and maybe even a lil' cat's claw just for variety. Be at Pali Lookout at 6:00 am sharp and bring plenty of water, as it's a…
Aloha Athletes ! The fact that I'm still laughing from reading Marian's clever post about those dangerous pigs on Maunawili Trail, makes it difficult to type this. However, in spite of those mean pigs, we still plan to bravely venture over to Pali Lookout at 6:00 am this Saturday and with wary eyes, do all…
How Super Pig Saved the Maunawili Out and Back Rumors were flying….the Maunawili Out and Back was in jeopardy. Talk on the street was that there were these two badass pigs, Leatherface and Scar, plotting to take out innocent runners as they attempted to make their way along the Maunawili Trail on August 1….
Just got back from my recce of the UTMB. Finally made it round (after 2 attempts frustrated by weather) and looking forward to the race in August. It's a marvelous run/crawl with brilliant views of the massif from all aspects + great huts and food etc along the way. Highly recommended. Nick

I received an e-mail from Jim Murray saying that his wife Margie and daughter Janine had taken some great photos of runners this past Saturday. Jim said he wanted to know the best way to get me the photos. I told him to mail me the CD's and I would get them posted up here…

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.
