Hellbender 100

The Hellbender 100 is a challenging 100-mile ultramarathon set in the scenic Black Mountains of North Carolina. Participants will navigate a course featuring over 48,000 feet of elevation change, culminating at the summit of Mt. Mitchell, the highest peak east of the Mississippi.

This event, organized by the non-profit Run828, aims to promote healthy outdoor activities, with a portion of proceeds benefiting local nonprofits. The race is a qualifier for both the Hardrock 100 and Western States 100. Runners must meet specific qualification criteria and adhere to strict gear requirements for safety.
