Frozen: H3

The Frozen: H3! is identical to the Hell Hole Hundred with the exception of the ridiculous heat and humidity. We operate on the same course and come across some of the same aid stations! Sounds easy, right?!

All events take place within the Hell Hole Swamp located in the heart of the Francis Marion National Forest located outside Charleston, South Carolina.

The trail we run on is called the Jericho Horse Trail, it’s a 16.3 mile loop through the forest consisting of dirt fire roads, single track trail and double track trail. It is a flat trail that is unforgiving. Past participants found it difficult due to the fact that there are zero hills, little elevation change and when they were on the course, they didn’t know when to walk.

Upon completing the required loops the 60k (both day and night) and 100 mile runners are sent back down the trail in reverse to make up any missing distance from your required loops. Distance will be computed prior to the start of the event and you will be informed of your distance via a sign at the start/finish area. Heading down the trail in reverse and then heading back to finish the event has proven to be one of the most difficult aspects of the race.

All participants will have a place to camp Friday and Saturday night if they would like. You will have access to restroom facilities, but there are no shower facilities.

Water and Doc Scotts Electrolytes, Recovery Water RX will be placed at locations roughly 6 miles apart (Basically where the manned aid stations will be later in the event). All runners are required to check in at the occupied and unoccupied aid stations during the entire event.

As a “thank you”, all participants will receive an official Frozen: H3 pint glass for giving the event a try. This will either come in handy for holding a celebratory beer after you finish… or should you drop out… the pint glass makes for a great tear-catcher. If you finish your distance, I will mail you an event shirt.
