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 driving force behind everything we do is the children. We’ve seen the impact a childhood cancer diagnosis has on the entire family and we’re deeply committed to ensuring children affected by a cancer diagnosis have the opportunity to pursue their college dreams with scholarships, regardless of financial challenges. We are painstakingly aware that childhood cancer research continues to be under funded so we continue our mission to help fund Research and Awareness. Our actions brings our WHY to life.
