Hotfoot Hamster

Hotfoot Hamster is a fixed time ultrarunning event held at Nardini Manor in Buckeye, Arizona. The event offers the following timed options:

• 24 hour event

The course is a USATF certified 500 meter flat crushed gravel loop that circles the grounds of the century old manor. The loop reports zero feet of elevation gain per lap and includes both permanent restrooms on the grounds and portable restrooms along the course.

On course amenities include a main aid station located directly on the loop, an express water fill line, live chip timing with timing mats each loop, and a designated staging area for drop bags, tables, chairs, and tents. The event is cupless so participants should carry a bottle or reusable cup; reusable cups are available for purchase in the main staging area.

Crew may set up in designated areas along the course. Pacers are not allowed. Parking is free and available onsite with access from Jackrabbit Road. Medical support is provided onsite by a professional provider. The aid station offers vegan, vegetarian, and gluten sensitive options when possible but runners with major allergies or restrictive diets are advised to prepare supplemental food.

Prizes and finisher awards are given in the 24 hour, 12 hour, and 6 hour races, with additional masters awards for age 40 and over. Daytime conditions are typically hot with temperatures often over 100 degrees Fahrenheit and cooler nights in the 80s. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
