Race Information
The Habanero Hundred, Texas's Hottest trail race, was born from a summer-long run gone wrong and it's now one of the largest trail races in the state. The race is held in August every year, with options for many distances, with the marquee event being the 100-mile distance. Because 100 miles was not long enough for the race's finishers, there is also the Habanero 135 race. Entry is not guaranteed and spots are reserved for experienced ultra runners.
The race is held at the beautiful 7IL ranch just outside of Bellville, Texas. The ranch has been open for more than five generations, and it was opened for public use in 1999. The facility is over 1,150 acres with water/electric and RV hookups as well.
The Habanero Hundred starts at HIGH NOON, and the 30-hour cutoff will end at 6:00 PM on Sunday. All runners will receive an event shirt, the race will be chip-timed, and we will have free pictures for all runners. There will be belt buckles for 100M & 100K finishers, and medals for the 50k, Marathon, Half Marathon, 10k, and Relay Teams. The relay option will also allow you to run with a team, friends, or family to complete this monumental task.
