You know we love to keep our runners fed at our races 🥞🍔🌭

Here's what you can expect to see at Hell Hole at the aid stations!

The aid station at the start/finish is the one that will be serving up hot meals (plus ultra snacky food and sandwiches and drinks)

The 2 aid stations on course will have your ultra snacky stuff, drinks, and sandwiches

We'll have the slushie machine fired up and coke slushies going for runners

We have some vegetarian options so if you need that just let us know and we can take care of you! We don't make a bunch of hot vegetarian stuff because there's not a big demand for it and it ends up getting thrown away

Crews and spectators can purchase meals for $5 but if you're sitting around waiting for your runner--take a drive over to and grab lunch/dinner

The last few weeks since have flown by sooo here's some of my favorite moments from being out there.

The week didn't go as planned but it was rewarding to also get to hop in and help other friends on their adventure!

No internet Mike--you are a badass🔥 There are so many more adventures in your future 😎
a.wong to keep going after your feet were absolutely WRECKED was so impressive. I know you're going to get that buckle🙌🏼

thank you for letting me join in on the last 11ish miles of fun and congrats on getting it done!!

I hope to be back next year crewing/pacing/volunteering--however I can be a part of it.

This may be an unpopular opinion about this race but it's obviously getting a lot of attention and more people are signing up every year. Which is awesome. But--without any sort of qualifier (example: you have to run a 50 miler/100 miler/etc) I fear that a lot more runners with little to no experience will be showing up to the start line and that can be dangerous in a race like this. It's tough because as an RD--this scares me. As a runner--I love to FAFO.

I know what you're thinking----there's no way I'm running in the dark in the swamp in South Carolina in June. And honestly--I don't blame you because I felt the exact same way 🤣

So why did I run the Night 50k (now the Night 25k) at Hell Hole in 2023 before I took over as the race director?

🔥 I wanted to avoid the heat and the sun and knew it would be "cooler" running at night

🔥Every time I did a race that went into the night I got so scared and I wanted to get over it

I showed up to the race terrified and tried to convince people to run with me so I wouldn't be alone. I was around other runners until we got to the first aid station on the first loop and then I was most by myself. I ran into some of the 100 milers and if that was you--I'm sorry🤣🫠❤️ I was jacked up on caffeine, belting out Morgan wallen songs and living my best life and yall had been out there all day at that point

This is my experience at the night 50k and it in no way means you're going to have the same experience but here are some of my highlights ⬇️

🔥as the sunset, the fireflies/lightning bugs put on a show! I have never seen so many in one place and it was really an incredible experience. Felt like I was in a weird Disney movie for a minute

🔥the sunset---amazing

🔥I hollered "everybody out" when I came up to puddles just in case any creatures were in there. I wanted them to know I was coming in

🔥 saw zero snakes 🥳

Thinking about running this may be making you feel uncomfortable. Good. You're never going to know what you're capable of if you don't try. I guarantee it's more than you're giving yourself credit for ❤️‍🔥☠️

We still have 20ish spots open for the Night 25k. It starts Saturday at 7pm and you've got until 1am Sunday morning to finish! Register on ultrasignup (link in bio too). See ya out there ☠️🔥

🚨 There are just 3 spots left for the daytime events at Hell Hole 🚨

The Night 25k has 21 spots open 🙌🏼

The waitlist has already been moving sooo if you're seeing the distance you want to run is on a waitlist--put your name on it. The earlier you get on the better chance you have of getting in

If you get picked from the waitlist you will get an email and have 24hours to accept or decline before we move to the next runner on the list.

Or grab a spot in the Night 25k 🌙 🦉 which is my favorite event at Hell Hole. The fireflies come out right as the sun is going down and you feel like you're in some crazy version of a Disney/horror movie 😝

You can grab the link to register in our bio or search Hell Hole Hundred on ultrasignup. Tag that friend who's been meaning to sign up and hasn't yet 🫠

See you on the trails soon ✌🏼🏃🏽‍♀️🌲
