Devil on the Divide

Devil on the Divide is scheduled for Saturday, September 12, 2026, in Empire, Colorado, in Clear Creek County near the Continental Divide.

Available distances

  • 50K
  • 22K

Both courses are point to point and consist entirely of dirt surfaces, with the majority of each route on single track trail. Participants on the 50K reach a top altitude above 13,000 feet. Elevation gain is over 6,500 feet for the 50K and about 3,400 feet for the 22K.

Because of the remoteness and terrain, prior ultra running experience is required for the 50K, and trail running experience at high altitude is highly recommended for the 22K. Cut-off times are enforced for both distances. Finish times will not be recorded for participants who register for the 50K but drop at Herman Gulch, the 22K finish.

Race entries are non-refundable and non-transferable, with limited exceptions for active duty military deployments, pregnancy after registration, and new child additions with notice. The race director reserves the right to postpone, delay, shorten, or cancel the event for severe weather, forest fires, or other safety risks; there will be no refunds if the race is modified or canceled.
