Race date: January 18-19, 2020
Entry submission period: April 22, 2019 through May 31, 2019 (midnight HST)

The Hawaiian Ultra Running Team (HURT) is excited to announce a design contest for the 20^th running of the HURT100 logo and finisher shirt.  All artists and creative types are encouraged to submit a design(s) to commemorate this special event on its momentous anniversary.

The logo design should incorporate the environment and culture of this very special even as well as the incredible challenge faced by all those that dare to attempt (and complete) the undertaking of very tough 100 mile endurance run.

Specifically, HURT is looking for a logo that can be used for shirts, buckles, letterhead, and other printed materials; both for this 20^th anniversary event and beyond for many years to come.  Submitting a design with the flexibility of alteration for the 20^th and for future events is encouraged.
