2009 H.U.R.T. 100 Entry & Selection Guidelines

H.U.R.T. 100 Entry & Selection Guidelines

• The H.U.R.T 100 is limited to a starting field of 100 runners. It is the intent of the race organizers to have 100 entrants toe the start line on race day. The purpose of these guidelines is to assure that a fair process is established to meet that endpoint.
• The H.U.R.T. 100 race application will be made available on August 1, 2008 at http://www.hurt100trailrace.com/.
• Applications must be postmarked on or after August 1, 2008. Applications postmarked prior to that date will not be considered. Runners are accepted in the order of application date received. Once 75 applications have been received the application at the above site will be removed. As a point of reference the application was removed after being posted for 9 days in 2007. Removal of the application from the web site prior to hitting the 100 runner mark will allow those that have applications in the mail to be processed towards the 100 runner limit.
• Application must be submitted with the appropriate race fee. Applications without the race fee will not be considered.
• Once the 100 runner limit is met, the entrant list will be posted and the race registrar will implement a wait list for those applications that are received after the 100 runner limit. The wait list will not be published.
• Accepted runner’s who for whatever reason will not be able to participate in the event can asked to be replaced by a wait listed runner. The following will apply to those who wish to opt out of the race.
  • A refund in the amount of $100 will be returned to the previously accepted runner ($45.00 to get out of the race), if a wait listed runner accepts the position in the race;
  • No refund will be made if the position is not accepted by a wait listed runner,
  • Notification of intent to withdraw from the race must be made by             November 1,2008 to the race registrar Hurtpals@aol.com,
  • Notification after November 1,2008 to the race registrar will be handled on a case by case basis,
  • Once accepted the wait listed runner entry fee will be cashed. The entrant list will be continuously updated as wait listed runners are added.

• Race organizers retain the right to accept runners who they feel might add to the competive nature of the event.

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.

Their work and efforts were made easier due to the support of wireless internet access and equipment courtesy of

Sprint Corporation, 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

H.U.R.T. 100 Update #2 (11/20/07)

Runners,

As you all are probably painfully aware the race will soon be upon us. Your race committee has been putting the finishing touches on this year's event and it promises to once again be an incredible event with tons of fabulous runners and volunteers. Please take a couple of minutes to read the following update:

1) Bob and Barbi McAllaster will be serving as aid station captains for Nuuanu. Please extend a warm welcome to the two of them for their bravery of such an undertaking.

2) Please review the race rules and procedures. Recently we have answered a ton of e-mail questions on items that are clearly described in the rules. It's not that we don't want to talk to you folks but our time is occupied with other details of the event. We kindly ask your cooperation in this matter. We will be happy to answer question not answered in the rule book.

3) One change not noted in the book is that CREWS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED AT THE MANOA (PARADISE PARK) AID STATION ON THE FIRST LOOP.  We ran into problems last year with parking on the initial loop. Therefore, please plan accordingly this year.

4) Succeed Ultra has been selected as the drink that will be served at the aid stations.

That about does it for now. Continued success with your training.

Jeff & John

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...

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.

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.

Photos from Mudd Butt Cafe @ Nuuanu Aid Station

Here's some more great photos from the Mudd Butt Cafe aka Nuuanu Aid Station.

Mahalo to our Volunteers!

Congratulations to all the 100M and 100K finishers at the HURT Trail 100 this past weekend.  You were all fantastic out there!

For any successful race, there are many behind-the-scene individuals who put great time and effort into making everything come together.

I would like to extend a heartfelt “Mahalo” to the following individuals and their -Aid Station crews:

Vernon Char, Carolyn Hayashi, and crew did another outstanding job at Paradise Park in Manoa.  Vernon has run this aid station for every HURT - his early morning pancakes are legendary!

John and PJ worked very, very hard at Nature Center to track runners and get them back out on the course, certainly no easy task.  Their traditional Kalua Pig sandwiches made great fuel for many entrants.

Don Fallis and volunteers marked the course before race day, then returned Monday to take everything down.  Don worked hard to keep the timing board updated.

Without Joel Jenkins and his Medical crew’s hard work, many runners would have called it a day and gone home to nurse their blisters and aches. Joel was literally everywhere!  His professionalism and attention to detail is second to none.

As for Mudd Butt’s Café in Nuuanu, I owe a deep debt to Patricia Carroll, who was my right hand.  Besides putting up with my planning for the entire year preceding HURT,  Trish packed all runner bags, helped at the pre-race check-in, and assembled the post-race lucky draw gifts. She then worked the aid station for +36 hours from the initial set-up.  Trish made sure runners got their drop bags and assisted with timing and tracking of runners.  I believe her when she said running the race is easier!

 

Mae Martinez and Vanessa Huff also worked the entire 36 hours – their organization and constant attention to detail amazed me! Mae also helped purchase much of the necessary supplies for our aid station.  At Mudd Butt’s Café, Mae kept the supplies organized and the food flowing in the food tent.  If you have every wondered where those lovely Hawaiian Print bags come from, Mae sews each one!

 

Vanessa kept up our timing sheet, updated the runner board, and worked with the Ham Radio operators for the entire race.  Her wonderful kids, Katie and Matthew, along with Bryson took injured runners back to NC and made our pizza run.  Vanessa also took care of her hubby, the “Huffer”, when he pulled in… again, no easy task!

Neil and Marian Yasuda not only worked in the morning, but they also paced local runners on loop #3.  The Yasudas then returned Sunday morning to help break everything down and transport gear back to the NC.

Fellow runner, Freddy Halmes was the maestro in our kitchen, keeping runners fed and hydrated. Freddy had so much fun he stayed through the evening until Sunday morning!

Good friend Christine Shiinoke flew in from San Francisco, just to work the aid station on Saturday.  She then geared up to pace Steph on loop #3.  What an animal!

My fellow worker Clinton Wong, dropped in early Saturday morning to help set up the lights and anything electrical – his expertise was most appreciated!

Toby Kravet, our esteemed bell ringer, did a wonderful job.  We certainly knew when runners were approaching the aid station!  Next time we will give him a kazoo to go along with the bell.

Peggy Regentine, Stote Farnham,  Jane Sarven, Heather McCafferty, Johnny Landeza, Les Omura, Jim Carr, and Naomi Sakai did a fantastic job keeping the liquids flowing and the runners going!  A very special thanks to Jane for filling up our water cans and returning later in the evening to work some more. Jonathan Miller came Sunday afternoon to help with breakdown and clean-up.

Almost all our workers are long-time road and or trail runners who graciously gave up their free time to help.  Thank you all so much for your time and assistance!

Mike

Still Lost: Post HURT 100

We're still missing an iPod Shuffle. Now that all of you have had time to get home and unpack all of your race bags, did anyone find an iPod Shuffle? We sure would like it back, no questions asked.

They are so small, it would be easy to miss. The last I saw it, I gave it to Barbi at the end of Loop 2/Start of Loop 3, at the Nature Center and she was putting it in a ziplock bag. She thought it ended up in my drop bag. Unfortunately it did not. I feel really bad since it was hers and I was borrowing it for the race.

So how are your legs? I got out and ran this morning. My legs are fine, I just found myself getting winded fast. I thought that was strange.

Aloha, Bob
