The Course
The Devil's Den Course is a 10K loop on Wright's Mountain located in Bradford Vermont. The course can be found at the following link: https://www.alltrails.com/explore/map/map-4de7542--63?u=i&sh=tndajd
The trail is a mix of easy runnable to steep, rocky and rooty. The beginning of the course is a steeper climb to the peak of Wright's Mountain. After reaching the peak, you will have a fun downhill through the woods before moving your way back through the woods to return to the start/finish area. There is one road crossing at the beginning of the course and the loops starts on private property. Please do not visit the area of private property outside of the race and stay on the public trails for training.

Start/Finish Area
The start/finish area will be where runners start/finish the race, along with pit area for both 12-hour and 30-hour runners. This will also be where you park you vehicles.
The 12-hour runners will all be given a place to store a drop bin. We cannot promise that this area will be able to get out of the elements, so come prepared. Please keep your drop bin to a smaller bin to leave room for all the runners.
The 30-hour runners will be given a 10'X10' section that they will be able to set up their pit area. We do not care what you put in that 10'X10' section, just as long as you stay within that space. We want to make sure that everyone has enough room so please be courteous of your neighbors.
Pre Registration
We will have pre registration the night before the event at the start/finish area. 30-hour runners will be allowed to set up their tents in their space and any 12-hour runner that pre registers can leave their drop bin if they would like. We suggest doing this option if you can because race morning will be hectic and early if you need to check-in and setup on race day.
The pre registration will be from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM. At 8:00:01 PM, registration will be closed and you will need to register in the morning. 30-hour runners are allowed to stay within their tents the night before the race after they have registered. For 12-hour runners, please check with local airBNB or campgrounds if you are coming up the night before. Please reach out to me if you have any issues finding a place to stay.
Event's current local time: 9:15 AM ET
