Event details
Hot to Trot takes place Sunday, July 26, 2026, at Boling Park, 1200 Marietta Highway, Canton, GA. The event offers two timed options:
- 8-hour
- 4-hour
Both options use staggered starts.
Course and logistics
The course is an approximately 1-mile loop composed of grass, trail, and hard-packed dirt. The route is described as generally flat with no significant elevation change. One aid station at the start/finish will provide water, electrolyte drink, sodas, ice, and typical ultrarunner snacks such as chips, cookies, candy, and pickles; popsicles and watermelon are likely to appear. No pain killers (ibuprofen, acetaminophen, etc.) will be provided. Runners must supply their own electrolyte pills. Participants may set up personal tents around the start/finish.
Awards are given to the top three male and top three female finishers in each event. Raffle prizes from sponsors will be given during the day to participants who are actively on course at the time of the raffle. Base entry fees listed are $65 for the 8-hour and $45 for the 4-hour; GUTS members receive a $5 discount. The event policy notes no refunds and no transfers. Organizers warn of high summer temperatures and humidity, and advise proper hydration and electrolyte management; the race director may remove participants who appear to be at risk.
