The HOTH - Hell On The Humber Night Endurance Race 2023

<p>Hell On The Humber is an endurance event series that takes place on the third weekend in August every year. This year, on HOTH weekend, runners and walkers from across the UK and Europe will descend on the world-famous Humber Bridge to test themselves in running, walking, shuffling, and crawling over it. The HOTH 2023 will see participants taking on the tough and demanding Hell On The Humber route on the Humber Bridge for 6 or 12 hours, as they push themselves through the night to try and complete as many 4 mile laps as possible in that time. There's no upper mileage limit, though there are some long-standing and pretty impressive course records. All we ask is that participants complete a minimum of one 4 mile lap every 3 hours. The HOTH is a NIGHT race, and if we can guarantee one thing, it's that you'll get all seasons while you're up on the bridge in the dark. We're also pretty sure that there'll be no sunrise more beautiful than the one that heralds the end of your race after a night in hell. We also order pizza at midnight, just because. Bring a tent, bring all your kit, and bring a sense of humour. This one is going to mess with your head! The Ouzo is the reincarnation of the 20kg weighted race from HOTH of old, which sees participants carry a 20kg pack for the duration of the 12 Hour HOTH event. You don't have to be an Ultra runner to take part in the HOTH Event Series, though many experienced long-distance runners from across the country do return to the event year after year and rack up some impressive distances. You don't even have to be a runner to take part, walkers are always welcome. All we ask is that you complete the minimum number of laps, you're 18 or over for the 12-hour races and 16 and over for the 6-hour (under 18's require parental consent), and that you be part of the event with the right attitude, that being one of enjoyment, personal challenge, inclusion, and support. Every finisher receives the coveted finisher's shirt, and there's also a very bling finisher's medal!</p>
