The Hotter 'N Hell Hundred Bike Race Draws Thousands Each August

Wichita County The Great Outdoors

Hotter 'N Hell Hundred is a long-running bike weekend in Wichita Falls. Riders choose several route lengths. The 100-mile ride gives the event its name. Since it lands in late August, the North Texas heat is part of the identity.

That weekend, downtown and nearby streets feel busy in a different way. Cyclists, volunteers, visitors, packet pickup, and race traffic all share the city. If you live near the course or move in that week, put the event on your calendar and plan around the schedule once organizers publish it.
