While we may never see the weather of last year's HOHOHOTH again, with every surface white with ice, and temperatures hovering around -5, that may also mean you're more inclined to give it a go, alongside the usual lunatics who had to be dragged off the bridge last year, despite the weather.

HO HO HOTH is the final event of the year in the HOTH calendar, and what a way to go out! 6 hours of running in the cold of December between 12 noon and 6pm, and taking part in what's celebrated as the world's longest and most painful Santa run!

HOHO HOTH sees competitors taking on the tough and demanding Hell On The Humber route on the World famous Humber Bridge for six hours, as they try to complete as many 4 mile laps as possible in that time. There's no upper mileage limit, though there are new course records to be set, and all we ask is that participants complete a minimum of one lap every 3 hours. How hard could it be???

To add to the fun, the competitors and event crew like to dress up in 'festive' costumes (though this isn't mandatory, but you may look the odd one out without something festive...) We also have truly cruel prizes of a free race next year being offered for the best male and female costumes. Sounds great, right?

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 and even Europe 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 16 or over (under 18's require parental consent), and that you be part of the event with the right attitude, that being one of enjoyment, inclusion, and support. Egos aren't welcome! Every finisher receives the coveted finisher's shirt and medal!

Please note: There are only 100 entries available for HO HO HOTH 2023, and when they're gone, they're gone. No waiting list, no transfers... Don't miss out!
