"HURT, an acronym for the Hawaiian Ultra Running Team, goes back to an eight-finisher inaugural edition in 2001. Trail conditions force some course changes each year, but it's still a five-loop jungle course. Women Aimee Warnke followed up 2025 finishes at the Leadville 100 Mile and Javelina 100 Mile with a first-place finish here. Warnke ran 100 miles through the jungle in 27:24. Call it a warm-up, though. Warnke's got the triple crown of 200 milers later this year."
"Gary Robbins' 19:35 course record had stood since 2013, but it came down this year. Tyler Juza ran 19:22 to reset the record books. It was a massive time improvement for Juza, who was second here in 2025 in 22:13. Juza has the Tahoe 200 Mile up next in June. iRunFar columnist Gabe Joyes finished in 21:58 for second place, and Riley Robertson was third in 22:49."
"This one is an absolute game of attrition just to get to the finish. The route goes 268 miles along the Pennine Way route, and in the aftermath of a winter storm, runners faced difficult and cold conditions. Runners get 168 hours, or a full seven days, to complete the adventure. Anna Troup (U.K.) and Johanna Antila (Finland) were together through most of the middle of the race until Antila dropped with 25 miles to go with foot issues. Troup won in 106:19:12."
HURT 100 Mile in Hawai'i used a five-loop jungle course with variable trail conditions. Aimee Warnke won the women's race in 27:24 after 2025 finishes at Leadville and Javelina. Katherina Laan placed second in 28:50 and Candice Burt was third in 29:33. Tyler Juza reset the men's course record to 19:22, improving on Gary Robbins' 2013 mark of 19:35. Gabe Joyes finished second in 21:58 and Riley Robertson third in 22:49. The Winter Spine Race covered 268 miles on the Pennine Way in harsh conditions, with Anna Troup winning in 106:19:12 after Johanna Antila withdrew near the finish. Rachel Entrekin and Canyon Woodward were among faster winter runners.
