Hells Hills Trail Race
About this race
Saturday, April 3, 2027.
This event hosts a deceivingly tough course, at a really easy to get to venue. With 2 loops for the 50km, and one fun loop for the 25km and 10km races. If you're fast, come test yourself against the best trail runners in the country.
If you are looking for your first trail run or to go further than ever before, come out and enjoy this beautiful course with stream crossings, pine trees, hill country flowers, and a whole lot of fun passionate folks waiting to help you reach your goal. For many, this long-standing event has become an annual occurrence that has really become a reunion of friends. We'll be out all weekend and in no hurry to leave. Especially if the wildflowers are popping.
While every racer will get some cool swag, March 9 is the deadline to get a shirt.
