Race Day Runner Updates To Be Made Available

Runners & Friends,

Last year the H.U.R.T. 100 Mile Endurance Run was fortunate to have The Amateur Radio Operators of Honolulu, Hawaii handle race day communications and tracking of runners throughout the event. Once again this year the radio operators have committed to handle the same task but have moved the communications to a new level. The radio operators have secured sponsorship from Sprint Corporation of Honolulu, Hawaii allowing the use of several internet cards and access time to their system. In addition, Jim Yuen and his colleagues have been hard at work on a site that will get out timely updates as the race progresses. The site is currently operational and can be viewed at http://aditl.com/hurt/. We encourage you to share this address with friends and family so they can track your progress through the tropical rain forests of paradise in January. On behalf of the HURT family and the H.U.R.T 100 we would like to extend a hearty Mahalo to the folks at Sprint and the Amateur Radio Operators of Honolulu for their support and hard work in making all of this possible. We would also like to encourage you all to do the same.

Merry Christmas,

Jeff and John

(Jeff Huff, John Salmonson)
