HURT100

2011 H.U.R.T. 100 Runner Selection Statement

Dear Runners,

 

It has been an incredible 10-year run for the H.U.R.T. Trail 100 Mile Endurance Run. During that time we have seen the run grow in popularity, and we have witnessed the improvement in the quality of the run and the runner’s who participate in the event. In an attempt to continue this improvement process we will be implementing some new processes for the 2011 edition of the H.U.R.T. 100.

 

Beginning with the 2011 event we will be utilizing the services of http://ultrasignup.com/ for our race registration. The open date for registration will begin on July 31, 2010 at 8:00 (HST) and last for 5 days only. The application and credit card payment will all be done electronically.

 

Beginning this year (2011 event) we will institute the H.U.R.T. 100 lottery algorithm whereby applicants will be awarded Kukui nuts in the lottery process to increase ones chances of being selected. Kukui nuts will be awarded based upon various criteria including, but not limited to the following:

 

·      Previous H.U.R.T. 100 finishes

·      Previous H.U.R.T. 100 starts

·      Previous 100 mile experience or lack thereof

·      Aloha spirit and sportsmanship or lack thereof

·      Harmonious mix of Hawaii, Mainland and International runners

·      Considerable services to HURT or to trail maintenance of the HURT trails

 

It is our hopes that these criteria will help us to achieve our objective of providing the following:           

 

·      Homogenous group of race entrants from the front of the pack to the back of the pack.

·      Opportunity for both the first time 100 hundred-mile runners and the first time H.U.R.T. 100 mile runner to get into the run.

·      Reward those runners who have supported the H.U.R.T. 100 over the years.

·      Reward and develop the Aloha spirit and sportsmanship among the participants in order to make the H.U.R.T. 100 truly unique.

·      Maintaining the high quality of the event.

Much Aloha,

John, Jeff & PJ.

Jan. 30 Potluck and Found Wallet

First, the wallet

Happy ending!
Ryan Seto looked in his bag after the dinner, and found the missing wallet. He called me at 11:30 (we were still up, unwinding), so I gave him the owner's phone number, and we left a message for the owner too. Long story short, Ryan spoke to the owner and drove his wallet to him. Yey!!

Secondly, I'd like to announce a post race pot-luck picnic at Ho'omaluhia Botanical Garden at 10 am on January 30th, across from the Equestrian Pavillian. This is towards the end of the park by the last camping area and bathrooms. It's a Saturday, and people can go over there and run early if they want. We will use that day to give away lucky number drawings for the goodies we forgot to give away at the dinner. John and I will fill a cooler and bring sodas. We can't wait to hear all the stories! We want to include all runners, their crews and pacers, volunteers etc,  Peter Daspit (our photographer), and Christopher (our Rolfer) are also be invited. Filesha LeRand will be in town and promised to come.

Please bring some food to share, a chair and bug spray.

Please contact me or Cheryl if you have any questions.

Aloha, PJ

More on the Missing Wallet Please Read

Runners,

We are making progress on the missing wallet. A volunteer saw the wallet on the concrete pad at the Nature center next to a very large black duffel bag with open pockets on race morning. Thinking the wallet was from the open pockets the wallet was placed into the bag and bag zipped up. The volunteer said the large duffel bag was one of the bigger bags out there and there was a green piece of cloth attached to the bag. The bag was then placed in numerical order where Mr. Cook's bag would be, he was #19. I would like to ask everyone to check their bags regardless of size / color and give me a call if you have Mr. Denis Cooks wallet. The number 358-8638.

Aloha,

Jeff

Mainland Runner Missing Wallet at HURT 100

Aloha Runners,

What a weekend. Results will be coming, but just as important we have a mainland runner, Dennis Cook whose wallet is missing from a drop bag that was placed at the Nature Center during the HURT 100. We ask you to go through your personal drop bags to see if somehow his wallet ended up in your bag. This runner is now unable to get a hotel room, drive his rental car, and now without identification he might find it hard to fly home. He will be in attendance at the post run banquet tomorrow night. If you have come across his wallet or identification please give me a call (808)358-8638 so that we can return it to him.

Much Aloha,

Jeff Huff
