About

HOTS is an adventure race for the bravest of runners. Participants gather in a North Georgia cornfield, park their cars, and take buses to a mystery location 300 to 350 miles away. The challenge is to make it back to their vehicles with only what they can carry or find, navigating their way using maps provided at the destination. Runners have 10 days to complete this formidable trek. Twice-daily tracking ensures safety, with transport available for those who need to drop out. Finishers are shuttled with their cars to nearby motels for rest before heading home. This race is the ultimate test of self-reliance and endurance, offering the unparalleled freedom and solitude of the open road.
