13.1 Miles 3.95 Miles Run Trail Ultra

It’s gonna be a mess — in the best way possible. The Hot Mess Trail Races take place at Parvin State Park in Pittsgrove, NJ, offering two awesome options: a classic half marathon and a choose-your-own-adventure-style 6 hour ultra. Whether you're here to push your pace or your time on feet, this race is all about trails, community, and getting a little dirty in the woods.

The course starts and finishes at Danna Farm Fields, using a mostly flat and fast lollipop-style loop. Expect 95% trail, with just a bit of pavement to mix things up. You’ll get a little bit of everything: twisty single-track, sand, and roots — all in a beginner-friendly format.

Half Marathon: You'll head out from the start, complete two full loops of the lollipop, and return to the finish. There’s an aid station around miles 3.5 and 8.5.

6 Hour: You’ll run as many laps as you can (or want) on a 4-mile loop, returning to the pit after every lap to refuel. The only aid station is at the start/finish area.

Parvin State Park is a carry-in, carry-out park, meaning this will be a cupless race and all trash is only to be disposed at the start/finish line - DO NOT LITTER. All runners MUST carry their own cup.

This ultimate trail party is brought to you by a collaboration between Endless Endurance and Second Capital Running!
