UPDATE: WE WILL BE CANCELLING TOMORROW'S TRAINING RUN. THIS IS TO ENSURE EVERYONE'S SAFETY BOTH ON & OFF THE TRAIL.

THE WEATHER SYSTEM HAS SLOWED DOWN & THEY'RE EXPECTING THE HEAVY RAINS & HIGH WINDS TO IMPACT O'AHU THIS AFTERNOON (FRIDAY, 8/24) THROUGH TOMORROW EVENING (SATURDAY, 8/25). MORE RAIN WILL FOLLOW IN THE DAYS AFTER. 

PLEASE STAY SAFE & DON'T TAKE ANY UNNECESSARY RISKS.

Aloha Everyone,

We hope all are safe and have made the adequate preparations for the approaching hurricane. Please find the following link as a means to stay informed:

Although we’re less than two weeks from race day, please do not attempt to go outside for some training if the conditions are bad. We want to see everyone on race morning!  

That being said & barring the weather, please join us this Saturday, August 25^th, for a loop or two (or more ?) of the 2018 Tantalus Triple Trek course. We will be meeting at the picnic area by the Maunalaha & Kanealole trailhead (just behind the Hawaii Nature Center) by 6am. We will depart shortly thereafter. We will be going in the clockwise direction (up Kanealole/Center trail aka Pipe) for both loops. Below is a map of the course. Be sure to bring enough water and nutrition for the distance that you plan to do (at least 24 oz per a loop). Hope to see you all there.

We will post in the comments below as well as on social media (Facebook, Instagram) the day prior (Friday, 8/24) whether the training session will be held (or canceled). Should the storm hit prior and we cancel the training, please be Akamai in knowing we are doing this with your safety in mind. Oahu Na Ala Hele and the trail advisory council are predicting major impacts to all trail systems should it remain on its predicted track, i.e., fallen trees and branches, landslides, flooding.

The Triple Trek store is open for all to purchase race swag online. ** This just in: grey trucker caps have been added to the store!!**  Here is the link store site:

NOTE: For the last two races of the HURT trail series we’ll be using Skratch as our electrolyte drink. In addition, we will be featuring Tailwind nutrition. Much Mahalos to Ray Woo (Runner’s HI) for the big assist in getting these great products for use in our events!

Last and certainly not the least….. Congratulations to all who have been bestowed the privilege & honor of being selected to run the 2019 HURT 100-mile trail run! Best wishes on successful training and hope to see all in January!!

Please be safe over the next several days and hope to see you all very soon!

Aloha,

As we all know, Mango Madness is an undisclosed course. We work hard to come up with a challenging 10-12 miler and we work even harder to keep it a secret! Please join us on June 2nd at 6am to get a maybe-kinda-sorta glimpse of the Mango Madness course. Count on six miles and a lot of fun. We will be meeting in the Nature Center parking lot. A few of us are going out afterwards to get some extra miles. Run with us if you have the time! See you then.

(Jacque RD will be there, too!)

Aloha Everyone,

Only one last weekend on the trail to get a final loop (or two) in!

But before we get to the training details, the 3T Store has been re-opened due to popular demand! You can even personalize your shirt sleeve with your name! The store will close this week Wednesday, August 23. Orders expected to ship by September 12 (or hopefully earlier) and shipping can take up to another 3 weeks.

Training Info

This Saturday, August 26, we will do one full loop of the course.

Meet at the picnic and restroom area at the Maunalaha-Kanealoloe trail head (by the Hawaii Nature Center) at 6am.

Bring an adequate amount of water as well as any nutrition they may require. Depending on the time of sunrise, a small (handheld) flashlight or headlamp may be needed.  

If you have not yet been on the race course, make it a point to join us or have someone who does know it to take you on it very soon!! If you will be joining us and haven’t been on the Tantalus trails, please make it a point to remain with the group or be with someone who knows the course. As no pacers will be allowed for the race, it is highly recommended for those not familiar with the course to participate in this final session.

Here is a map of the course. For those unfamiliar with the trails, feel free to print a copy for reference along the training run.

If you choose to do additional mileage or be on your own, be sure to have adequate water and nutrition as well as know the route (as well as your limits).

Are you ready for Mango? Well, we will get you as ready as you can be! We cannot show you the exact course because that would be against the Mango Madness rules.

Please meet at 7am in the Nature Center parking lot this Saturday, May 27 for an approximate preview of the course. Please bring your hydration pack and snacks. I will be sweeping, so all paces are welcome. No one will be left behind. See you Saturday morning!
