Description

Hell On The Humber is an endurance event series like no other, and each year on the third weekend in August, otherwise known as HOTH weekend (to the initiated), hundreds of runners and walkers from across the country descend on the world famous Humber Bridge, to test themselves in running, walking, shuffling, and crawling over it.

HOTH sees the many competitors taking on the tough and demanding Hell On The Humber route on the World famous Humber Bridge for 6, 12, 24, or 36 hours, as they try to complete as many 4 mile laps as possible in that time. There's no upper mileage limit, though there are long standing and pretty impressive course records, some of which have proved just too tough to break over the last 8 years. All we ask is that particupants complete a minimum of one 4 mile lap every 3 hours. How hard could it be???

You don't have to be an Ultra runner to take part in the HOTH Event Series, though many experienced long distance runners from across the country do return to the event year after year and rack up some impressive distances. You don't even have to be a runner to take part, walkers are always welcome. All we ask is that you complete the minimum number of laps, you're 18 or over for the 12, 24, and 36 hour races and 16 and over for the 6 hour (under 18's require parental consent), and that you be part of the event with the right attitude, that being one of enjoyment, personal challenge, inclusion, and support. Egos aren't welcome. Every finisher receives the coveted finisher's shirt, and has their mileage added to the HOTH Leaderboard. There's also a very bling finisher's medal!

HOTH Relays & Kid's Tower Run

If the full thing is a litle much for you, or you prefer shorter and faster distances, we offer a Team Relay option which will allow you and two 'friends' to take it in turns knocking off the laps for 12, 24, or 36 hours. Your team of three will take it in turns racking up the laps while the other two stiffen and freeze.

If you're too young for the full thing, we also have a Tower Run on HOTH weekend each year where the children of competitiors, friends, and family complete between one and five miles at the event.

Charity Runners

Many HOTH runners take part in the events to raise much needed funds for charities and good causes, and we encourage this and support the runners where possible. Unfortunately we're not able to offer any free races for these charity runners, as all of our free charity places are currently donated to the Ellie Penrose Fund. The fund is a charity set up by the family of Ellie Penrose, a close friend, HOTH crew member and runner, and youngest ever HOTH competitor, to allow them to support young people in their sporting endeavours. To take one of these five free charity places you should contact the race director - karl@hellonthehumber.com

The number of HOTH Event entries is strictly LIMITED, and once sold out we will operate a waiting list.
