44 Years of Heat. Zero Regrets.

Back in 1982, the Wichita Falls Bicycle Club dreamed up something wild – a 100-mile ride through North Texas in the dead of summer to celebrate the city’s centennial. Nobody thought it would become a national institution. Forty-four years later, it’s still here. Still brutal. Still unforgettable.

Whether you’re chasing a personal record, riding for the experience, or just want to say you survived – there’s a place for you at Hotter’N Hell.

A Legacy Unlike Any Other

Why Hotter’N Hell

A Legacy Unlike Any Other

Born from a centennial celebration in 1982 and still going strong. HHH isn’t just an event – it’s a North Texas tradition that riders pass down like a family heirloom.

Here, Every Rider Has a Place

From seasoned century riders to first-timers barely breaking 20 miles – if you’re willing to clip in and take the heat, you belong here. Multiple distances mean everyone can call themselves a Hotter’N Hell finisher.

The Weather is Kind of the Point

Yes, it’s hot. Brutally, historically hot. But that’s the badge of honor – finishing a century in August Texas heat isn’t something you apologize for. It’s something you brag about forever.

Hotter’N Hell is more than Just miles

Concerts. Food. Community. The Finish Line Village turns the end of the race into a celebration. Riders, fans, families – HHH weekend has become one of the most beloved events in all of West Texas.
