2019 race report from the race director: “We have had Icegate, Watergate, Sissygate, and this year we had Nastygate. Nastygate was suggested by Dr. John Anderson of Crozet VA. Weather was predicted to be around freezing with rain. We had rain from the start (and many hours before) at 12:01 AM till around 10 AM. Sometime it was light rain, sometime it was heavy, but it was CONSTANT with temps around freezing. I suspect runners changed clothing more than they ever have. I am SHOCKED that 128 out of 142 runners finished!! There were over 180 runners applied and the race committee selected 150 with 142 starting. Thirty-one ladies started and 24 finished. In the men’s field, 118 males started and 111 finished. What is up with that LADIES?” READ MORE

From Ultrarunning Magazine about the 2017 race: “Hellgate 100K is actually 66.6 miles starting at 12:01 a.m. on the second Saturday in December at the northern terminus of the Glenwood Horse Trail at the Big Hellgate Parking lot next to Big Hellgate Creek in Central Virginia.” READ MORE
