Hotfoot Hamster

The Hotfoot Hamster is a fixed-time ultra running event held at the historic Nardini Manor in Buckeye, Arizona. Participants can choose to run for 6, 12, or 24 hours on a USATF-certified, flat, and fast 500-meter gravel loop course that winds around the century-old manor grounds. The race offers a fully stocked aid station on course, with vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, and allows runners to set up trackside for convenience.

The event features well-lit night sections, though headlamps are recommended. It is a cupless race to reduce waste, with water refill stations available. The Hotfoot Hamster is ideal for first-time ultras or personal best attempts, fostering a friendly and supportive atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
