About This Race

The Habanero Hundred is a hot-weather trail race held in August at the 7IL Ranch near Bellville, Texas, billed as Texas' hottest trail race.

Hydration Support

There are 3 aid stations (Start/Finish, Road Crossing unmanned, and Hot Tamales halfway). TROT is a cupless racing company, so runners must carry their own hydration device of at least 500ml. Aid stations offer water, ice, electrolytes, soda, and food.

Awards

The top teams in the 100M and 100K Relay receive a special pennant, and top Houston Area Road Runner's clubs and F3 Teams compete for their own pennants.

Ultra Pacer
Pacing is allowed in the 135M, 100M, and 100K events only. Runners may only have one (1) pacer with them at a time. Each pacer must register on RunSignup as a pacer (this will open in August), listing their runner, and wear a pacing bib received at packet pickup or the timing tent on race day. Included with the entry is the 7IL Ranch venue pass, course support (aid station access), emergency medical support, and pacer bib. Pacers must start and finish at the main start line and remain with their runner at all times unless under an emergency. Pacers are allowed to "mule" for their runners. 135M runners may have a pacer once they have completed 50 miles. 100M runners may have a pacer once they have completed eight (8) loops of the course (halfway / 50M). 100K runners may have a pacer after they have completed six (6) loops of the course (final four loops only). There is no pacing for any other solo event or relay teams.
