Race Information
The Devil on the Divide is one of the most beautiful and challenging trail races in the state of Colorado with breathtaking (literally and figuratively) views of Clear Creek County and the Continental Divide. Participants will reach a top altitude over 13,000 feet with over 6,500 feet of climbing for the 50K course and 3,400 feet of elevation gain for the 22K. 100% of the point-to-point courses are dirt, with the majority of each course being single track trail.
Due to the difficulty and remoteness of this race, prior ultra running experience is REQUIRED for 50K participants and trail running experience at high altitude is highly recommended for 22K participants.

😄 Why We Like This Run
✅ Breathtaking national park views
✅ Smooth, gentle route
✅ An unforgettable atmosphere
Lace up for 13.1 miles through the heart of Utah's red rock country. Starting on Kolob Terrace Road in Virgin, Utah, this gently rolling, point-to-point course follows the Virgin River, just two major turns stand between you and the finish, as towering sandstone walls and endless desert views build with every mile.
It's bold. It's beautiful. It's unforgettable. And it ends right where the adventure should: at Cable Mountain Lodge in Springdale, staring at the South Entrance of Zion National Park. Beat the 10/31 price increase!
