Aloha Athletes ! Last Saturday’s HURT Trail Series race "Run With A View", was a blast, with 62 runners, many of which were the fastest I’ve seen at any HURT Trail Series race. "What a horse race !" I’d like to thank everyone who volunteered…we couldn’t do it without you…especially co-race director Cheryl Loomis, Gordon…

Aloha Athletes ! As happens rarely, you will be getting this Saturday off, so take advantage of it and have some fun. With so many of our regulars joining Cheryl for the Miwok 100k in the Bay area, we will not be having an organized Saturday Training run this week. All the best to Cheryl,…
Many regular H.U.R.T. runners, friends, and past H.U.R.T. 100 participants are off later this week to San Francisco to participate in the Miwok 100K. For some it is their first ultra of this distance, for many others it is a great opportunity to qualify for Western States. The race is run on trails in the…

Aloha! This past Po’aono (Saturday), HURT members gathered to erect a bench at the top of Nuuanu Trail in memory of fellow runner, Kent Bien. After all work was complete, we joined hands, formed a circle, and shared memories of Kent. It was only fitting that our tribute was blessed with cool mountain rain. My…
Aloha Athletes ! You might know that when I have to miss a Saturday Training run that it will be one of the best…EVER ! A BIG mahalo goes to Gordon Lau for setting up this fun Kaahele/Waimano run, for clearing trail, for putting out the huge stash for all to enjoy and for almost…
Gordon maps out an adventure….one way or the other. Gordon Lau got the highest praises from all for his planning and implementation of last Saturday’s training run. It was an adventure through new and uncharted (for most of the HURT crowd) areas around Ka’ahele and Waimano. It would be hard to elaborate the full extent…
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.
