Hotter'N Hell 100 combines short, fast criterium races with the Primal Challenge, a 100-mile cycling event focused on extreme heat. The weekend features Friday night races, children's races, Special Olympics races, and the complete 100-mile event.
The criteriums are the close-quarters racing component, while the Primal Challenge is the main endurance event: 100 miles in temperatures that can reach around 100 degrees. This combination attracts competitive racers, young riders, Special Olympics athletes, and cyclists seeking the traditional Hotter'N Hell endurance test.
