Hotter Than Hell Marathon for RaceMD

Have you ever wanted to complete an overnight marathon the middle of the summer in New Orleans? This is your opportunity, whether an experienced runner or a 1st time Want A Bee, to participate in one of the most unique overnight marathon events in the country in support of Duchenne Muscular Dystropy (DMD) boys. The HOTTER than HELL MARATHON for RaceMD is a self-timed overnight event/run of 26.2 miles completed in 13, two-mile loops.

The race was held at Audubon Park in New Orleans for the first 18 years and was held virtually during the Covid years (2020-2022). The location for this year will be announced in March.

ALL pre-registered athletes will receive a coveted HTH Marathon L/S shirt, custom finisher medallion, and race bib.

RaceMD® began with the mission to accelerate the search for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) therapy to save lives. The mission has evolved from research to rescue as we fund real therapies for real patients NOW. DMD affects 1 in 3,500 children in the US. This is a donation-based race benefiting RaceMD, a Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) non-profit. All donations are tax deductible and go directly to RaceMD. Funds are then used to provide cell stem therapy to the boys who have DMD. This stem cell therapy shows evidence of life extension for the patients.
