Hell Hole Hundred
The Hell Hole Hundred is a multi-distance trail event held on the Jericho Horse Trail in the Francis Marion National Forest near Bethera, South Carolina. The event is organized by Palmetto Ultras and takes place over a race weekend in June.
Distances offered:

The course uses two loop configurations, a 16 mile loop and an 18 mile loop, made up of dirt fire roads and single-track trail. The terrain is described as flat but subject to high heat and humidity in June. The 10 km is an out-and-back with no aid on course; runners are advised to carry any needed fluids.
Three fully stocked aid stations are provided, plus a main aid area at the start/finish that will serve food throughout the day. Porta potties will be at the start/finish and at both aid stations. Runners must check in at each aid station. Drop bags are allowed at the start/finish or at a runner's vehicle or tent; crews may meet runners at aid stations.
Night running requires a light and spare power sources. Pacers are permitted for 50 mile and 100 mile entrants under the stated event rules. The event runs rain or shine; there are no refunds or deferrals except as specified for pregnancy and postpartum situations, and bib transfers or distance changes are possible through the registration platform up to the week of the race.
