WHAT DAY IS THE 2023 HOTTER’N HELL HUNDRED ENDURANCE RIDE?

Saturday August 24, 2024.

WHAT CHANGED IN 2021 AND 2022 THAT WE ARE KEEPING IN 2023?

Mountain Bike Race changes – In 2021 we added a Single Speed open group and a Clydesdale open group – that will stay.

USAC changed the names of the Categories – Cat 1 is Pro, Cat 2 is Sport and Cat 3 is Novice.

We are dropping the Cat 3 Hopeful. It was too confusing for the riders. They will race as Cat 3. If you want to avoid the scary start, you will be aloud to start at the end.

We are NOT giving overall and masters awards to mountain bikers, just giving mone for the fastest lap in Pro and Sport – male/female, (NOT Novice! All you sandbaggers need to Cat up!). Of course you have to finish the race to not be DQ’ed!

USAC has changed the price and ability to buy a One Day for the mountain bike race 🙁 Please go to One-Day Licenses | USA Cycling

Fastest Full Lap Challenge – A crisp $100 dollar bill to the fastest man and women for one full lap in Pro and Sport. This is an OPEN Challenge – no age groups – just the fastest lap – must finish the race!

Still giving Age Group award for each Cat and Gender in one, two and three places. Single Speed, Clydesdale are OPEN – just first, second and third, no age groups.

NO bike category transfers the week of the event.

Trail Run

We will still use a mass start just like a Cross Country event!

Gravel Grind – We think it worked great! We will, of course have slight route changes – other than that… maybe a few more Sasquatch’s on the course!

The Wee-Chi-Tah trail welcomes mountain bikers, runners, walkers, geo cash, picnickers and nature lovers.  Horses, motorized vehicles and camping is strictly prohibited. 

When you get to the RV Park, keep going north across the park and you will see the trail entrance.
