H.U.R.T. Hawaii

Run with a View Results

What can I say--the dog ate them! Is that a good reason for the late results?

Those of you who ran the race--you know your results. You were either in better shape than you thought or thinking, darn I gotta get myself in better shape! No more desert and I am running hills tomorrow! (just speaking for myself)

With this thick vog and humid air--for some it's tough just breathing let alone running. Let's hope it clears before the weekend.

Click here to see the results. There were some very good runners out there this past Saturday!
See you out on the trails!
Aloha,

Saturday Training 5-17-08 "Trek Loops"

Aloha Athletes !

First and foremost is a big mahalo to all the wonderful volunteers that made last Saturday's HURT Trail Series race, "Run With a View" a big success. There was mention of the"menehunes" that did all the great trail maintenance and grooming. I happen to know for a fact that these were not menehunes, but were Steve Dewald, Chad (Steve's worker bee), Mike Muench and Cheryl. What a great job they did ! Other volunteers were (and I hope I don't miss anybody) Marian, Kat, Lisa (Dewald), and of course Big John and PJ.     Thanks to all !!  Great race...beautiful day...fun people.   

This Saturday, May 17, we will be meeting at the Nature Center at 5:50 am, leaving at 6:00 am to do one or more Trek Loops. Marian will be doing "several" in preparation for her upcoming Western States 100 Mile Endurance Run, so if you can't get there for the 6 am start, just come out and join in anytime. Each loop is 10 miles and the trails are very dry and fast. See you there !       Don

Run with a View Photos

Aloha Athletes,

We had a fun race with the Run with a View on Saturday. I have not got the official results yet but wanted to thank Race Directors, Cheryl and Don for putting on a great race. I also want to thank the trail menehune's for their excellent work in clearing the trail.

I've posted two albums of photos. Thanks to Marian, Cheryl and PJ for taking these photos. Click here to see album 1 and here to see album 2.

I'll get the results up as soon as I can.

The next race in the H.U.R.T. Trail Series is the Mango Madness on June 14th.

See you out on the trails!

Run with a View is Saturday, 5/10 at 7:00 a.m.

Aloha Athletes!

The next race in the 2008 H.U.R.T. Trail Series is coming up very fast--this Saturday May 10th. The Run with A View race is 8 miles of fun. In typical H.U.R.T. style, the course is 4 miles uphill and the second half, all downhill.

The race starts at the neighborhood park (on the left) at the corner of Kaahele St. and Naalii St., goes 1/2 mile up Kaahele St. to the trailhead and makes a 7 mile clockwise loop on trails before returning back down Kaahele St. to the park. It is 8 miles total. Cheryl will be stationed at the only aid station at the 3.5 mile mark, so plan to bring a water bottle, as you may need it. The race starts at 7:00 am, so please be there to check in by 6:30 am with your $10 entry fee. Awards will be given to the first 10 men and to the first 10 women finishers and there will be soda, water, gatorade and food at the finish. Fun for all ! We also have a limited supply of nice, new Patagonia/HURT Trail Series shirts for $20 each.

Driving directions: If you are coming from Honolulu, take H-1 freeway ewa direction to the Waimalu Exit. After taking the Waimalu Exit, immediately get into the left lane and prepare to stop at the traffic light. Take another left at the stop light, getting onto Moanalua Rd. (heading Diamondhead). Go to the 2nd traffic light, Kaahele St., and take a left (mauka). continue up Kaahele St. for quite a distance up the hill, until you reach the stop sign at Naalii Street. The neighborhood park is on the left and there is plenty of parking on Kaahele St.

If you have any questions, contact Race Directors, Cheryl Loomis 488-0784 cheryl.loomis@cubic.com) or Don Fallis 247-4144 expo@hawaii.rr.com

See ya there !

"Run With A View" Trail Marking

Aloha Athletes !

If you have been wanting to check out Saturday's race course or just want to get out on the trails for a few hours, I have something for you. This Friday (5-9-08) at 1:00 pm, we will be meeting at the end of Kaahele Rd. (the mauka end, of course) and will be placing ribbons along the "Run With A View" race course. If you'd like to help, just bring enough water, etc. to last for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours of casual hiking. Hope to see you there.  Mahalo, Don

Coyote Two Moons by Mauricio Puerto

Mauricio snuck away and did what sounds like a really fun event up in California a while back, the Coyote Two Moons ultra.
You can read his report here.

Karl Meltzer blew away the competition and the course on this one.

It sounds like a great course and run!

Thanks Mauricio!
