The HNH Race May SELL OUT!
Please don't wait to the last couple of weeks to register. We can only accommodate 300 runners in the HNH Race. This is one of our most popular races and it will likely sell out. Don't be left out.
Shirt Cutoff is July 9th
The last day to register for Hotter 'N Hell is July 9th and be guaranteed a race shirt. "However" is very likely registration will close before that date. Don't wait to register.
We Have Added an Athena and Clydesdale Division
We are adding the Athena category and Clydesdale Division to the Hotter 'N Hell Trial Race. Women that weigh 140 lbs. or more, and men that weigh 200 lbs. or more may choose, to enter the Athena or Clydesdale categories.
Now we get to the "Real Fun" - Race 4 of the Southeastern Trail Series
Climb to the top of Double Oak Mountain then down to the depths of Peavine Gorge! You might even want to cool off under the falls before climbing back to the top of the Mountain.
Things get a little harder with race 4 of the Southeastern Trail Series, Hotter 'N Hell. We increase the distance, but not too much, only to 9 and 18 miles. We throw in a few more climbs, but not too many. And we mix in a new factor, HEAT! This one's tough. The trick to deal with the heat is Simple. Drink a lot of water and use Tailwind. If you don't use Tailwind you will have to take electrolyte caps or consume electrolyte sport drinks if you want to finish this one. We even add an extra aid station up near Peavine Falls.
