RACE OVERVIEW:
For those of you who still have need of purification:(training) to attain the blessing of entering the Hellz Bellz Ultra…
Welcome to Purgatory!
Purgatory is an out & back Trail Marathon , utilizing the Bells Mtn Trail, with roughly 6,000’ of ascent. Yes, you can expect the same on the descent. There will be one heavily stocked aid station located at the Yacolt Burn Trailhead (10+ miles into your venture) from this point you will head out on a three mile loop, that brings you back to the same Aid Station (mile 14). Stock up .. you have around 9 miles back down the Bells Mtn Trail. Upon reaching the Moulton Falls Bridge, there will be a lightly stocked AS, with electrolyte, H2O & a few snacks to help you down the finishing stretch!
The Bell will be Rang!
AID STATIONS
AS are located at miles 2.8, 12,15 & 24
They are few…with many miles in between. (Requirement to have the ability to carry at minimum 32oz of hydration) The Yacolt Burn AS will be epic as usual, hosted by the Possum Lodge! This will be a full grill…. serving breakfast in the morning & burgers, quesadilla etc… If you are craving it, they can probably make it!
You can also throw a small drop bag if needed (name & bib number) if you have some specific nutrition needs.
