Date: Aug. 22, 2026 Participant: Jodie Daughtry #573 Race: 2026 Habanero 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Fast Start Fuels Runner-Up Age Group Finish Jodie Daughtry, 36, of Sealy, Texas, tackled the 10K distance at the 2026 Habanero Hundred, a notoriously tough event held at the 7IL Ranch that bills itself as Texas' hottest trail race. True to its reputation, the race is entirely cupless, requiring every participant to carry a minimum of 500ml of personal hydration a fitting backdrop for a course designed to test heat tolerance as much as endurance. Daughtry opened aggressively, clocking a 13:25 first mile that placed her 10th overall and 6th among women early on. Her pace settled over the next few miles, ranging from 14:07 to 17:31 per mile, before a final mile split of 19:33 closed out her race. She crossed the finish line in 1:39:33 for the 6.1-mile course, averaging 16:19 per mile. Overall, Daughtry finished 15th out of 49 total participants, placing 7th among women and earning a runner-up finish in the competitive F30-39 division. Her ability to hold a top-10 position through the first three miles speaks to a strong early rhythm, though the noticeable pace increase in the final mile suggests an opportunity to work on finishing strength for future races on similarly demanding terrain. With a solid podium-adjacent result in her age group, Daughtry's performance reflects a well-executed strategy against one of the state's most challenging race environments.
