Devil Makes Three 50k and 10 Mile

The event offers two trail race options in Waxhaw, NC at 5213 Harkey Road. Runners follow a loop just over 10 miles and may complete that loop three times to cover the 50K distance.

The course uses a mix of technical singletrack, prairie grass sections, wider wooded trails, and areas with scenic lake views. There is one main aid station located at the start/finish area, and an on-course oasis that provides water and electrolytes. This is a cupless race; participants must bring their own water bottle or hydration pack. A limited number of collapsible cups may be available at registration.

The start/finish field offers space for canopies, tents, tables, and personal supplies. A finisher medal is provided. A custom race shirt is available as an optional purchase at registration and there may be a limited supply on race day. The organizer notes a low entry fee and a no refund policy.

Time limits are set for each distance: a 10 hour limit for the 50K and a 9 hour limit for the 10 Mile. Registration closes on Wed, May 13 at 11:59 PM ET. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
