Hotels are booked pretty solid in and around El Scorcho. We tried to negotiate a special rate, but the hotels aren't budging. Not sure if there is a convention in town, but they are being pretty tough. If you're looking for a place to stay, we'd recommend anything downtown/Sundance Square, the Museum district, TCU, Ridglea, or even the Stockyards. All of these areas are no more than 5 miles from the race site.

p.s. It is much, much hotter this year....

Anyone out there interested in or still in need of a hotel for El Scorcho Dos? I have contacted a few of the local hotels, but I want to hear back from you El Scorcho crazies before I start negotiating for an El Scorcho discount. The more people we can get on board the better the room rate will be. Let us know if there is still a need for lodging and we will see what kind of rates we can get for you.

El Scorcho Dos is SOLD OUT!

That's it, amigos. El Scorcho is done. No more runners. 400 is our limit and we're there. If you didn't register and make it, we're sorry.

Since we reached our field limit, I've gotten several e-mails asking if folks can come out and run the race anyway without registering.

Unfortunately, we cannot allow you to do so. We have very specific requirements that allow us to use Trinity Park after hours.We have insurance and permits and City Codes and you-have-no-idea-how-much beaucracy. There are serious liability issues with having unregistered runners participating in El Scorcho.

"Banditing" the course (i.e., running without registering) puts the entire race in jeopardy. If you care about the future of El Scorcho and Fort Worth ultrarunning, DO NOT "bandit" El Scorcho. If you didn't get in this year, come out and volunteer and run next year.

If everyone plays by the rules and has a good attitude, then El Scorcho will be around for many years to come.
