About
The all new Bad Ass Slam of Ultrarunning is an award to recognize those who take on and conquer four of the most grueling 100 mile trail races on this side of the USA. Our intention is to create a slam that is so brutally tough that those who complete it will truly earn the title of Certified Bad Ass!
PLEASE UNDERSTAND! This will be an EXTREMELY DIFFICULT UNDERTAKING! It is meant to test your physical and mental fortitude. The Bad Ass Slam is an adventure that will lead you through 400 miles of rugged, technical, relentlessly brutal trails, and up and up and up for over 120,000 feet of climbing. This slam is not about simply completing four 100 mile trail races between June and October of the same calendar year. It is about conquering that voice in your head yelling at you to stop. It is about pushing through the pain, the exhaustion and the elements to achieve your dreams. It is about undertaking and overcoming the most Bad Ass adventure you have ever had!
Each event included in the Bad Ass Slam offers its own unique challenges. Hell Hole Hundred is in the summer, adding grueling heat to its already daunting list of obstacles. Death before DNF is including additional tasks on-top of a brutal course. To really round-out the torture right, Not Yo Momma’s and Cloudsplitter, both super-tough races in their own right, take place on back-to-back weekends.
The Bad Ass Slam of Ultrarunning is open to any and all crazy-ass, tough-as-nails mountain goats who have read all this and still want to take it on.
