H.U.R.T. 100 Application Pulled

Aloha Athletes:

Due to the amount of applications for the 2009 H.U.R.T. 100 received in the mail today, we believe that after Monday and Tuesday's mail arrives we will have reached the race limit of 100 entries and have a wait list.

Therefore, we are pulling the application off the site at this time. If after the mail arrives early next week, this is not the case, we will reinstate the application until the limit is reached.

Thank you for your interest and support of the H.U.R.T. 100

John and Jeff

Get your application in the mail Today!!!

Good luck and good training!!

2009 H.U.R.T. Application Available August 1st!

For those who have been watching and paying attention or for those who have not, we have added a countdown timer in the upper left corner. This timer is counting down the time until the 2009 H.U.R.T. 100 application becomes available.

The 2008 race sold out in 2 weeks! Races have been selling out extremely fast all over the country.

You still have lots of time (I am talking to myself here) to get in shape for the 2009 race. The race roster will be filled on a first come, first serve basis and postmarks will be used to sort this out.

The application goes live at Midnight Hawaii time on August 1.

Don't hesitate or it might be too late. January is a great time to run 100 miles in Hawaii.

The H.U.R.T. 100 Chosen as a Qualifier for The North Face® Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc®

We are excited and pleased to announce that the H.U.R.T 100 has been chosen as a qualifying race for one of the most exciting races in the world, The North Face® Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc®.

This race has grown in popularity and stature with 2000 participants. The 2007 race featured several American runners and if I recall, none of the men faired well. However on the woman's side, Nikki Kimbell of the U.S. won. It is 160KM's and features 9000M of vertical gain. Participants also go through three countries--France, Italy and Switzerland on the course.

 

Final Results with Splits

H.U.R.T. 100 Race Director John sent three final result files from the race. I have listed and linked them all under 2008 H.U.R.T. 100 Results and Info on the right side of this page. The first file shows splits for every runner. The other two files show the finishers for the 100K and 100 Mile race and additionally show ages and where people are from.

Thanks John, this is great!!

Of course, this was all possible due to the work of The Amateur Radio Operators of Honolulu, Hawaii.

Mahalo!!

The 2008 H.U.R.T. 100 is finished!

The race is pau! That's Hawaiian for finished. It was a great race with a lot of Aloha. We were fortunate to have the Hawaiian blessing of rain (and wind) at certain times throughout the race. This pleased some H.U.R.T. people because according to those who marked the trail on Friday, the course was just way too dry. As we say, "We wouldn't want this to be easy!"

In all seriousness, we appreciate the participants for all their efforts, the volunteers, and all of the support we received in order to make this race a great success! There will be some truly great stories that will be told from the race. If you are still in Hawaii, we hope to see you at the dinner tonight.

Here's the top results:
100M male winner: Paul Hopwood 27:17                   
100M female winner: Suzanna Bon 31:56                        

100Km male winner: Rod Bien 17:02                        
100Km female winner: Jamie Donaldson 20:30

Happy New Year and Something to Look Forward To

Aloha Runners,
After seeing an e-mail today from a runner coming from "cold" country for the race, I thought I would show you something to look forward to. It's a beautiful day here in the islands. I took these photos today after completing a run up and over Lanikai ridge with my dogs. Just 18 days until you can experience weather like this. Click the photos to enlarge them.

Aloha, Bob

Congrat's to a couple of past HURT 100 participants

This may be old news for some of you. David Goggins won the inaugural Twin Peaks 50 miler last weekend in S. California. This race was directed by Jessica Deline. More info and photos are here.

Beverly Anderson-Abbs won the Coastal Challenge in Costa Rica. More info is here.

Congratulations to these two fine runners.

HURT Thank You and Training Thank You

Here's a couple of e-mails received lately. One is thanking us for the support during the HURT 100 and the other is thanking us for a training run.

Hello to Everyone who helped with H.U.R.T #7

I would like to thank everyone that helped with the H.U.R.T. 7.  Each aid station person was so helpful and encouraging.   I felt like I had a top ranked NASCAR pit crew getting me in and out of the aid stations.  I also learned quite a bit during the run, poor choice in hydration pack - it was to hard for the aid station folks to fill, should have bought gaiters, diced Power Bars and boiled potatoes are the best food on the planet after 20 miles or so, company in the dark is nice even if it is brief, the mud from the trail is impervious to washing - but I have a cool set of brown tied dyed socks and matching singlet now and going downhill for a flatlander is much easier than uphill.  Following the run I logged onto the Ultrarunning website and have planned the rest of my 2007 calendar year runs.  It would be an honor if I was allowed to participate in your event again in 2008, hopefully wiser and maybe a little faster.

You folks run the best event I have ever participated in.  The spirit of Aloha lives within each of you, thanks for all your hard work getting an event like this to completion.

Mahalo

Liz Shy, MT (ASCP)

Hi Bob,

Thank you for the very enjoyable run on Sat. Jan. 27.  It was really nice meeting everyone that day and getting to see some beautiful areas.  I came back home on Sunday, Feb. 4, to single digit weather with a wind chill below zero.  I'm so glad I got that run in with all of you!

 

Good Luck to all who are training for Run to the Sun!

 

Thank you to Elisa for the ride back to the ship.

 

I hope to see everyone at a race sometime...

 

Suzanne

Mahalo to all the 2007 HURT 100 Supporters

We want to thank everyone who supported the 2007 HURT 100. Putting on a race like this would be extremely difficult without the generous support from many people and organizations.

HURT 100 Video from Paul Sibley

As many of you know, Paul Sibley had his own reasons for completing the HURT 100 this year. A year ago, he pulled out after being diagnosed with cancer. Click this link to view his success in 2007.

HURT 100 Photo's from Leon Draxler

Leon Draxler sent me a disc with a lot of great photo's from the HURT 100. Some are a bit dark but they show great shots of the trails and of the runners.

Thanks Leon!

Via e-mail from Frank MacMillan

I'm back on the mainland but I wanted to point out to the blog that David Carlsson not only completed 100k at HURT but a week later placed 'first' in the Hilo to Volcano run in case you guys didn't know.  Great work for a guy who a month ago was just trying to get under 3 hours at Honolulu Marathon (and he did).  I'm pretty sure this is the same guy (last name misspelled in Big Dog's results) as I talked to him before the race and he is the only David in the finishers.  He was camping near Akaka Falls and said ran into the New Mexico HURT runners.

I was still sore and could barely stay ahead of the Cowman though it was nice to have a course with only a few banyan roots in the first ½ mile.
