THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED
The 2021 HURT 100 is Cancelled
The Board of Directors of HURT, Inc has made the difficult decision to cancel the HURT 100, originally scheduled for January 16-17, 2021. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has made this decision necessary.
For our potential runners, the continuing worldwide travel restrictions, State of Hawaii quarantine, and airline and accommodation uncertainties have made planning a trip to our islands difficult and worrisome. For our HURT team, not knowing future state guidelines for holding an event like ours makes planning extremely difficult and potentially impossible. Above all, we want to ensure the safety of our runners, families, and volunteers.
Though we will miss you all this January, we look forward to welcoming you to the HURT 100 on January 15-16, 2022.
For our local Hawaii runners, we are looking at options for holding additional Trail Series races in January and February.

HURT Entry and Lottery Changes
As interest in the HURT100 continues to grow year over year, we have decided to make some changes to the entry requirements and lottery process.
THE REQUIREMENT FOR A 50 MILE OR GREATER QUALIFIER IS WAIVED FOR HURT 100 IN 2021. This requirement will return for HURT 100 in 2022.
There will be three separate lottery categories, with three separate lotteries.
* HURT Veterans
* Wait Listed / Never HURTers
* Everyone Else
We feel these categories continue to give our long-term veterans an opportunity to run, while making sure those who are perennially stuck on the Wait List get an increased opportunity.
HURT Trail Work Requirement
HURT will require eight (8) hours of volunteer trail work service from each participant.
THE REQUIREMENT FOR 8 HOURS OF TRAIL WORK IS WAIVED FOR HURT 100 IN 2021. This requirement will return for HURT 100 in 2022.
Trail work service must be performed between September 1 of the year prior and November 15 of the year preceding the event, a 14-month window. Those not submitting an approved trail work form by the deadline will be removed from the event and a partial refund given, as described in the Book of HURT.
For the 2021 HURT100 event, the service window will be from 9/1/19-11/15/20.
