Race Overview
Are you gonna get gulched?
Devil's Gulch is a race that will push the boundaries of what you thought possible.
This course is located in the hot, beautiful Ponderosa pine forests of the eastern Cascades. You'll get unending views of the entirety of the Cascades, from the Enchantment Plateau to the iconic Volcanoes. As you leave the high ridgelines, you'll trade views for unique geology with wicked gulches and huge rock hoodoos! The course boasts a little bit of everything, from rocky, steep, technical single track to smooth, flowing trails where you can fly through the forest. The views are hard to beat and will provide some respite from this tough course. While this isn't a course for the faint of heart, the generous cutoffs allow you to run your own race at your own pace.
With lots of vert and hot temperatures, the 100 Miler is an extremely challenging event. The 50 Miler is also challenging, just a half portion of crazy. For those who have a more balanced relationship with running, we've got the half-marathon too. The half course gets all the views with only a fraction of the pain.
We'll see you back at Mission Ridge after 13.1, 50, or 100 miles for a delicious meal and drinks, thanks to the Mission Ridge Ski and Snowboard Resort.
Top 3 in all gender categories will receive prizes. Interested in volunteering? Click here to sign up - you'll get a free or discounted race entry!
Devil's Gulch 100
This tough and gorgeous course will take you on a 100-mile loop up to the summit of Mission Peak and Mt. Lillian. You'll then run along Tronsen Ridge with incredible 360° views before descending to lower elevations in Ponderosa Pine forests. Then it's over to Number 2 Canyon, where you'll switch from technical rocky single track to smooth-flowing trails up to Horse Lake Mountain. Pause at the summit for views or catch the sunset over the famous Enchantment Plateau. You'll rack up over 20,000' of gain in this race, but don't worry: you have 39 hours to get it done. The course follows plenty of single track, plus a bit of forest service road. The views are incredible, and the temperatures should be nice and warm (read: your brain might cook). Check out the website for more details about the race, the course, and the schedule.
Finishers will receive a shirt and plenty of food and beverages at the finish line. And, of course, 100-mile runners will also receive a belt buckle to commemorate this accomplishment!
Devil's Gulch 50
Not quiiiiite ready for the full 100? Check out the 50 miler! This beautiful course will take you on a shorter but still challenging 50-mile loop up to the summit of Mission Peak and Mt. Lillian. You'll then run along Tronsen Ridge with incredible 360° views before descending to lower elevations in Ponderosa Pine forests. Here, you'll wave goodbye to your 100-mile friends and start the gentle but long climb up Devil's Gulch and back to the finish line at Mission Ridge. This climb has many creek crossings to cool off in, so make sure to take advantage of those!
You'll rack up about 11,000' of gain in this race, and you'll get to see a huge range of ecosystems along the way. The course follows plenty of single track, plus a bit of forest service road. Check out the website for more details about the race, the course, and the schedule.
Finishers will receive a shirt, hand-crafted finishers award, and plenty of food and beverages at the finish line.
Devil's Gulch Half Marathon
Ok, maybe you aren't ready for the 50 either. That's fine! Sign up for the half marathon, a single loop that starts and ends at the ski resort, with about 2,500' of elevation gain. This race will start Saturday at 8:00am. Half-marathon finishers receive a shirt, same as the 50 and 100 Miler. Details on the website!
