Event Description

Texas' Hottest trail race, the Habanero Hundred was born from a summer long-run gone wrong (ask Race Director Cal) and is now one of the largest trail races in the state, held in August every year with options for many distances and the marquee event being the 100-mile distance. The relay option will also allow you to run with a team, friends, or family to complete this monumental task. In the first year of the event we only had ONE finisher in the 100 Mile event, Julie Schmal! Ever since we have put our 100mi finishers' names printed on the back of the next year's shirt. Between 2015 and 2022 there have only been 137 finishes of the Habanero Hundred 100mi. Are you up for the challenge? Or maybe start with one of our shorter solo distances or join a team in the highly competitive relay events for either the 100km or 100mi distance relays

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 (ultra and relay events), and has a 30-hour cutoff, ending 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 finishers, and finisher medals for all individuals including relay team members.
