Hell Hole Hundred : Bethera, SC
Hell Hole Hundred is a multi-distance trail running event held on the Jericho Horse Trail within the Francis Marion National Forest near Bethera, South Carolina. The event takes place in June and runs on looped courses that use a 16-mile loop and an 18-mile loop, with course surfaces of dirt fire roads and single-track trail.
Distances offered include:
- 100 miles
- 50 miles
- 50 km
- Night 25 km
- 25 km
- 10 km
The June setting in the forest brings high heat and humidity. The course is described as flat and marked with blue reflective flags and ribbon; runners are encouraged to use offline maps for navigation. There are three fully stocked aid stations, including a main aid station at the start/finish that will serve food during the day. Porta potties will be available at the start/finish and both aid stations. Runners must check in at each aid station. The 10k is an out-and-back with no aid on course, so runners should carry needed fluids.
Pacers are permitted under event rules for specified distances; one pacer bib is issued and only one pacer may accompany a runner at a time. Night-running segments require a personal light and spare power sources. Drop bags and crew access are allowed at the start/finish and at aid stations. The event includes participant swag, distance awards, and a finisher buckle for the 100-mile distance. There is no general refund policy, though a one-year pregnancy and postpartum deferral is offered and bib transfers or distance changes are allowed within the organizer's stated deadline.
