We are looking for volunteers to help us get the trail in running condition on August 6 for the Maunawili Out and Back trail race coming up on August 13th!
The Maunawili Out-n-Back is a trail run on primarily single-track and jeep road starting near the Ko’olau Golf Course, going to the trailhead in Waimanalo, and returning on the same route. The trail travels in and out of valleys along the Ko’olau mountain range; it is normally very hot, humid, and muddy with rolling hills and frequent stream bed crossings. Aid is provided only at the 11-mile turnaround point, so carrying a minimum of 70 ounces of fluids and supplies is mandatory.

The Peacock Challenge is an extremely difficult event designed for the most adventurous and well-prepared runner (this is not an entry-level ultra run event). Conducted on trails located in the Kuaokala Forest Reserve Area above the Dillingham Airfield (Waialua, Hawai‘i), the race is noted for its extreme terrain with steep climbs/descents and heat and humidity (occasional rain), all within a uniquely scenic course high above Northwest O'ahu, offering breathtaking views of the majestic blue coastline of the Pacific Ocean.

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.
