Hotter’N Hell 100 2026

Set course for the vast state of Texas, right in the heart of the small town of Wichita Falls in the United States 🇺🇸. The festivities don’t do things by halves to celebrate the end of August. The event rolls out a range of distances, but the true legend is written on the terrifying, mythical "100 miles" (about 160 km). The profile shows a very forgiving elevation gain, but don’t you dare get lulled to sleep: enemy number one here is a merciless thermometer that happily flirts with 40°C (the famous 100°F) with not an ounce of shade! 🌡️

The ribbon of asphalt drops you into a scorching expedition across the vast plains of West Texas. Your steed will have to slice through the dreaded hot southern winds that dry your throat with every breath 💨. One of the most striking, electrifying moments of your journey comes during the exclusive passage on the runways of Sheppard military air base, where US Air Force personnel form a guard of honor to cheer you on. The mirages dancing on the overheated road will test your mind to the melting point ☀️.

Forget elitist stopwatches—this institution born in the 80s is more like a massive collective survival test 🤝. The phenomenal volunteer crews turn into true extreme emergency responders, handing you ice-cold towels, fresh fruit, and even juice-soaked pickles to top up your sodium levels at every aid station. A purely Southern fervor pushes you all the way to the final arch, where the entire city celebrates your return from hell 🍻.

Save a hint of energy to explore the local gems once your carbon frame is in the shade. Bring your entourage along for a must-have photo session in front of the artificial waterfalls at Lucy Park, which actually gave the city of Wichita Falls its name 🌊. Also point your palate toward the local food scene by devouring an authentic Texas barbecue, generously smoked over pecan wood, to rebuild your protein reserves 🍖. Lock in your registration without blinking and come prove you can brave the gates of hell! 💥
