Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

- $158,112 spent. HURT IS ABOUT SHARING THE LOVE OF ULTRA RUNNING. THIS LED TO THE CREATION OF THE HAWAIIAN ULTRA RUNNING TEAM AS A FORMAL ENTITY IN THE STATE OF HAWAII. THE FIRST TRAIL RACE TO BE HELD WAS THE TANTALUS TRIPLE TREK, A 50K TRAIL RACE ON OUR BELOVED TRAILS. ORIGINALLY CHAMPIONED BY RACE DIRECTORS RANDY AND CILLA HAVRE, THIS RACE STILL EXISTS TODAY. ANOTHER OF THE EARLY RACES WAS HONOLULU CITY LIGHTS, AN EIGHT-TENTHS OF A MILE ROAD LOOP IN DOWNTOWN HONOLULU, RUN AT NIGHT. RUNNERS HAD A CHOICE OF DISTANCES: 50K, 50M, OR 100K. THE HURT OHANA CONTINUES TO GROW, AND WITH IT, THE IDEA OF INTRODUCING TRAILS TO MORE PEOPLE. ANOTHER GENERATION OF HURT MEMBERS STEPPED UP TO DIRECT RACES IN THE HURT TRAIL SERIES. THESE WERE RUNS OF BOTH ULTRA AND SHORTER DISTANCES, AND QUICKLY BECAME EXTREMELY POPULAR WITH LOCAL RUNNERS. THE HARD WORK, DEDICATION, AND GENEROSITY OF MANY HURT OHANA RD VOLUNTEERS HAS MADE EACH OF THE UNIQUE EVENTS SUCCESSFUL. CURRENT TRAIL SERIES RACES INCLUDE: AIEA LOOP EXPESS; KA`ENA POINT FIRECRACKER; KEALIA QUAD CRUSHER; MANGO MADNESS; MAUNAWILI OUT AND BACK; PEACOCK CHALLANGE; TANTALUS TRIPLE TREK; AND VI'S TOP OF TANTALUS. THE GOAL OF THE HAWAIIAN ULTRA RUNNING TEAM HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE PROMOTION OF A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE THROUGH RUNNING, PARTICULARLY TRAIL RUNNING, AS WELL AS GIVING BACK TO OUR AINA THROUGH TRAIL MAINTENANCE. PLANNING FOR FUTURE ACTIVITIES NEVER STOPPED. THE HURT OHANA CONTINUES, AND THE HAWAIIAN ULTRA RUNNING TEAM CONTINUES TO GROW THE LOVE OF TRAIL RUNNING IN HAWAII.
