Habanero Hundred

🔥 Race Overview

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.

🏃‍♀️ Relay and Finishers

• Relay Option: The relay option will allow you to run with a team, friends, or family to complete this monumental task.
• First Year: In the first year of the event, we only had ONE finisher in the 100 Mile event, Julie Schmal!
• Finishers' Recognition: Ever since we have put our 100mi finishers' names printed on the back of the next year's shirt.
• Historical Data: Between 2015 and 2024 there have only been 162 finishes of the Habanero Hundred 100mi.

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.
