Additional info for the 2026 HURT Trail Series:

• We are proud to announce that all races will continue to be cupless. Help us cut back on trash by bringing your own reuseable cup for finish-line beverages. For longer races with aid stations, you’ll need to carry a collapsible cup to use at the aid stations.
• “HURT Trailblazer” contest
  • We’re excited that the 2026 Trailblazer contest will begin with the first race of the series on March 21, 2026.
  • Finish five or more of the trail series races and you will have the honor of being named a “HURT Trailblazer”.  You could also become one of ten people to win a great prize. The contest’s scoring factors include participation, degree of difficulty, age group ranking and other elements. The contest is designed to be inclusive; it’s not just podium runners who take home the prize on this one!
  • The scoring for 2026 will include the top 7 scores of the 9 races (due to being unable to hold Kealia Quad Crusher), so if you are not able to make a race or two, it won’t count against you. 
  • Stay tuned for details about an end-of-season awards recognition after the Peacock race. 
• Trail series events that are shorter than marathon distance have a minimum age of 15 years old (runners 15-17 must complete and submit a parental permission waiver). Trail series events that exceed marathon distance have a minimum age of 18 years old.

Trail Maintenance Announcement:

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.
