Devil on the Divide 50K and 22K
Saturday, September 12, 2026
Empire, Colorado
We are pleased to present 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. These courses are absolutely stunning and equally challenging. Cut-off times are enforced for both options. Please register for the distance you intend to run. Finish times will not be given to those participants that register for the 50K and drop at Herman Gulch (the 22K finish)
Refund and Cancellation Policy
Race Entries are non-refundable and non-transferable. Exceptions will be made for active duty military deployments, women becoming pregnant after registration and new child additions (birth or adoption by runner or partner) with appropriate notice. The race director reserves the right to postpone, delay, shorten or even cancel the event due to unforeseeable circumstances that put the participants or volunteers as risk such as severe weather, forest fires, etc. There will be no refunds in the event of race modification or cancellation
