HURT Trail Series

Results: Race #1 Moanalua 6 miles, March 20th., 2010

Thanks to everyone who showed up to participate in the season opener of the HURT Trail Series, it was great to see so many runners wake up early. We hope that you had fun and enjoyed the trail.

Congrats to Steve Slaby (just back from injury) and Rachel Beckman for their Individual wins in the race.

Thanks to everyone who picked up some trash on the trail. We left it cleaner than when we came!

We had some help with the refreshments from Jonathan Lyau (A. C. Lyau Company), and the door prizes were generously donated by XTERRA, Kailua Running Co., Jamba Juice, Running Room Hawaii.

Those who won HPU gear – practice start 7:00 AM on Tuesday!

Thanks to Les Omura for making this race quite accurate - although you would have been turning around a little earlier had he not been there!

Thanks to Matt, Lesley and Nate for making the selection of the door prizes interesting.

We have created the result list to the best of our ability, but due to mud on legs and rain it wasn’t an easy task. Please let us know if you find any mistakes – send us an email at hpucrosscountry@gmail and we will correct it right away.

Prizes: For those who placed from 5-10 and who didn’t get their prize, it will be available at the next trail race April 20, the Top of Tantalus 7 mile race, start is at Puu Ualakaa Park.

Should you be interested in watching HPU Cross Country in action then the season opener is September 11, 2010 at Kaaawa Valley. We will have a 3.1 mile trail race there.

Sincerely,

Christian Friis

What a fun event! I even got a little dirty! Too funny that Heather and I were the only one's wearing gaiters.

Great race, Christian! Thanks for all your hard work to put it on. I think its a good location for the first race in the trail series. Not overly long or hard, and a great place to hang out with old and new friends at the finish. aloha, Matt, Lesley and Nate

If that's true, then it's just a matter of time before someone goes all the way to the other side! And then maybe back!

Great race! Thanks, everyone. What a beautiful trail--one of these weeks I'm going to go back and go all the way to the top, which I hear goes to the backside of Stairway to Heaven.
