HOTS Race In Progress
The race begins. The clock is running, and the runners have 10.5 days to make it back.
The last annual adventure for only the most daring.
The runners assemble on Wednesday morning, park their vehicles in a cornfield atop Sand Mountain in North Georgia, and board tour buses.
The only thing they know about their destination is that it will be somewhere between 350 and 400 miles away. Once they arrive, they will be able to access maps of the course that will take them back to their vehicles.
After an overnight stay in a hotel, the field will be bused to the start the following morning. From there, with only the supplies they can carry or obtain along the way, they have 10.5 days to get back.
Tracking.
Follow the field as the race unfolds across the open road.
Laz’s Updates.
There is no greater freedom than being alone on the open road.
Just you, your wits, your skill, and the will to finish.
