Rocky Raccoon 100, by USWE Trail Race
The Rocky Raccoon 100 is a trail running event hosted in Huntsville State Park. It takes place at the beginning of February every year. The event includes three race distances:
- 100 mile
- 100km
- Youth 1 mile
The course consists of 5 x 20 mile loops for the 100-mile race and a 2 mile short lap followed by 3 x 20 mile loops for the 100km race. It features pine forests, a lake, wooden bridges, and gently undulating trails covered with pine needles. Tree roots are noted as a feature on the course, not rocks.
The event is known for its aid station support and extensive course marking, which includes caution tape and reflective markers for night running. The cut-off time for the 100-mile distance is 30 hours. Finishing the 100-mile race within this time qualifies runners for the Western States 100 lottery.
Pacers are allowed for the 100-mile and 100km races after the runner completes 49 miles, and for runners aged 60 and older from the start. All pacers must register.
The event is cupless, so runners must bring their own cup or bottle for drinks. The race hub area has games for spectators and families. Parking at the state park is limited to paved spaces. Camping and shelter reservations for Friday and Saturday nights are handled through a specific event system.
Awards are given to the top 3 male and female finishers, as well as first-place male and female in each 10-year age group. All participants receive race swag, which may include a shirt or another item like a hat or beanie, depending on registration date. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
