Hot Mess Trail Races

Hot Mess Trail Races take place at Parvin State Park in Pittsgrove, New Jersey, in a collaboration between Endless Endurance and Second Capital Running. The event offers two options: a Half Marathon (two full laps of a 4-mile “lollipop” loop) and a 6-Hour Ultra (run as many laps as you can on the same loop). The course is mostly trail, with twisty single-track, sand and roots, plus a bit of pavement, starting and finishing at Danna Farm Fields.

Parvin is carry-in, carry-out, so this cupless race requires runners to carry their own cup and dispose of trash only at the start/finish. It’s a community-focused trail party with a messy vibe. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
