Name That Trail Race!

We need some help naming an upcoming trail race. A friend (Kay) and I are going to host a 6-hour trail race in the middle of August (HOT!) on the Northshore Trail in Flower Mound, TX. As part of the planning we need to come up with a name for the race. Based on Kay's initial research, she was able to assemble the lists below.

We are looking for something different and original that incorporates trail running and HOT weather! Please post a comment with your suggestions!

Here’s a list of existing heat-related race names in TX in this summer:
  • August Gusto
  • Bun Burner (that’s ours)
  • Dog Days
  • El Scorcho
  • Heat Wave
  • Hot Dam Run
  • Hot Dog Trot
  • Hot to Trot
  • Hot 2 Trot
  • Hotter than Hell
  • Hottest Half
  • Jalapeno del Sol
  • Red Hot Run
  • Run in the Sun
  • Summer Bath
  • Summer Sizzler
  • Sunstroke Summer Stampede Series
  • Take on the Heat
  • Too Hot to Handle
How about one of these, or a variation on one of these?:
  • Bat out of Hell
  • Can’t Stand the Heat
  • The Heat is On (comes w a theme song)
  • Heat Stroke
  • Hell Bent for Leather
  • Hot Air
  • Hot as Hades
  • Hot Diggity!
  • Hot Foot
  • Hot Pepper
  • Hot Shots
  • Mad Dogs and Englishmen
  • Scoville 6-hour
Please post your suggestions in the comments below!

    I also second Larry's "Northshore Sizzler". How about something with Inferno in the name?

    How about the Habanero Hussle?

    I also like "Northshore Sizzler."

    So many good ones listed. I like Habanero Hussle. We have The Harding Hustle in our parts (runs Harding Truck Trail) and it plays off the 70s theme (Do the Hussle!).

    I also like "Can't Stand the Heat" a lot. Maybe play with the rest of that saying "Stay out of the Kitchen"

    I also like "Northshore Sizzler" a lot.

    Thinking of "Dante's Inferno," how about "Northshore's Inferno?"

    Too bad I won't be in Tx come August. I'm coming out in July!

    There'a an FA Marathon in Cookville, TN called "Blister in the Sun" - love that name! http://harpethhillsmarathon.com/blister/

    Luckily, Northshore has a lot of shade!
