Some extreme trail runners gathered for a challenging run in the heat of the day on South Mountain. The fifth annual Circle of Hell run lasts for three hours as trained, courageous tried to rack up laps for a good cause. However, running on your own in extreme is not advised.
Most people do whatever they can to stay out of the heat, but a group of runners were purposely counting their laps around Pima Canyon Trail this afternoon. The fifth annual Circle of Hell Run took place for three hours. Dozens of people have been running in the heat for the event, although there are plenty of people on the sidelines helping to keep them hydrated and encouraged.
But you get a bunch of happy, energetic people out here and it just changes it entirely," organizer Chrisztopher Rotten said.The rules of the run are simple: take as many one-mile loops as you can - or choose - between 2-5 p.m. The final "death lap" must be completed after 5 p.m. Organizers say the Circle of Hell Run has grown each year and the camaraderie is what makes people come back for more. The event raises money for the Arizona nonprofit 2gether We Live.
