HOT MESS TRAIL RACES: 6 Hour & Half Marathon

The Hot Mess Trail Races take place at Parvin State Park in Pittsgrove Township, New Jersey, organized by Endless Endurance and Second Capital Running. Runners can choose between a half marathon (13.1 miles) and a 6-hour timed ultra event.

The mostly flat, looped course covers varied terrain, including single-track trails, sand, and roots, making it approachable even for beginners. The race is cup-free, an environmental policy requiring runners to manage their own waste, and aid stations are placed strategically along the course to support participants throughout.
