Frozen: H3 is a group of events put on over one weekend, from 16.3 miles to 212 miles. I ran the 50-ish k event, two loops of a 16.3 mile loop thru the dramatically and I am sure at times appropriately named Hell Hole Swamp 25 miles NNW of Charleston SC.
Everything about the production was first class. Pre-race communication, directions, signage, choice of the route, swag, and staffing the 3 day long event. There were 2 aid stations on the loop and one at the start/finish, just the right spacing and a wide variety of drink and food offerings you hope to see a trail ultras. At the end I even got to have tomato soup with potato chips.
It is funny there aren’t more people there typically, but then 2023 had perfect conditions – mid 30s start temp, mid 40s thru out the day with a breeze, and mostly blue skies. And, apparently the last 4 miles of the loop can be standing water as often as not. Not 2023, no mud, evenly cambered trail, just roots and branches under leaves to make running challenging.
The swag was a nice tech shirt and for the less that 100 mile up distances, a medallion.
Definitely a recommendable race but then I ran it without 4 miles of standing water…. 🙂
