Devil's Den Ultra

Devil's Den Ultra (October 10-11, 2026) : Bradford, VT

Devil's Den Ultra offers three race options: a 30-hour event, a 12-hour event, and a 10K loop (the course is also described elsewhere as 6.4 miles). The event is held at Wright's Mountain near 1250 Chase Hollow Rd, Bradford, Vermont. Total entry is capped at 100 runners. Registration opens January 1, 2026.

Course and race logistics

The race uses a 10K loop on Wright's Mountain. The trail varies from easy runnable sections to steep, rocky, and rooty terrain. The route includes a steeper climb to the peak, a downhill through woods, and a return to the start/finish area. There is one road crossing at the beginning of the loop and the course starts on private property; runners are asked to stay on public trails for training and not visit the private areas outside the race.

The start/finish area serves as parking and as the pit area for 12-hour and 30-hour runners. 12-hour runners are given space for a small drop bin. 30-hour runners receive a 10' x 10' pit area and may set up tents the night before if they pre-register. Pre-registration is available the evening before the event.

Awards and finish items

All finishers receive an upside-down Devil tarot card for their distance. Additional tarot cards and special awards are given based on distance and miles completed: for example, sun and moon cards for top day and night miles in multi-hour events, a World card at 50 miles, a 10 of pentacles at 100K, and a belt buckle at 100 miles. Top runners in each distance receive a Devil's Skull. The 30-hour event has a clothing guarantee deadline for registered runners; refunds are not offered.
