Habanero Hundred
About the Event
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 2024 there have only been 162 finishes of the Habanero Hundred 100mi.
Are you up for the challenge? 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, 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.
New for 2026... Announcing the Habanero 135! Because 100 miles was not enough for our veteran Habanero Hundred finishers. We will be announcing additional details in 2026 for this race, which is planned to start on the Friday at 6 PM. Entry is not guaranteed and is reserved for experienced ultra runners. The 135 may not be used by those looking for extra time in the 100 Mile distance.
Ready to test your limits? The Habanero Hundred brings a highly anticipated Ultra, Marathon, Half-Marathon, 10K to Cat Spring on August 21, 2026. Expect a fantastic route right in the heart of Texas.
