Hot Mess Trail Races

Pittsgrove, United States • 25 Oct 2025

The Hot Mess Trail Races, held at Parvin State Park in Pittsgrove, NJ, offer a fun and challenging trail running experience with two main events: a half marathon and a 6-hour ultra. The course features a mostly flat, fast lollipop-style loop that is 95% trail, including twisty single-track, sand, and roots, suitable for beginners. The half marathon consists of two loops with aid stations, while the 6-hour race involves completing as many 4-mile laps as possible with refueling at the start/finish area. This cupless race emphasizes environmental responsibility, requiring runners to carry their own cups and pack out trash. The event fosters a lively community atmosphere and trail party vibe.
