Gary Robbins had held the mark at 19:35 since 2013. Juza was second here last year in 22:13, so he took almost three hours off his own time and twelve minutes off the record in the same run.
HURT is five loops of about 20 miles through the rainforest above Honolulu, on roots, mud and steep climbs that change from year to year as the trails do. The race is named for the Hawaiian Ultra Running Team, which started it in 2001 with eight finishers. Gabe Joyes was second in 21:58:42 and Riley Robertson third in 22:49:10.
Aimee Warnke took the lead early on the third loop and held it to win the women's race in 27:24:47. She finished the Leadville 100 and the Javelina 100 in 2025, and this was her first win at the distance. Katherina Laan, runner-up here in 2023 and 2024, was second again in 28:50, and Candice Burt, third last year, was third again in 29:33.
Juza's next race is the Tahoe 200 in June.
A 100-mile record on a course that is mostly roots and mud is not a time trial. It is 19 hours of not falling over, and then still having the legs to run the last loop. Twelve minutes is a lot to take off a record like that.
