Overview
Devil’s Gulch offers a rugged escape deep into the Ponderosa forests and high ridgelines near Wenatchee, WA. This event features a half marathon, a grueling 50 miler, and an unforgiving 100 miler that will test your endurance, mental grit, and hydration strategy. The course blends rocky, steep technical trails with smooth singletrack and sweeping views of the eastern slope.
From red rock hoodoos to remote meadows and flowing descents through Devil’s Gulch, this race rewards effort with beauty. It's not for the faint of heart, but generous cutoffs and strong community support make it an epic weekend in the mountains.

The Devil’s Gulch course is legendary for its mix of punishing climbs, technical descents, and sweet stretches of flowing singletrack. Every runner starts at the Mission Ridge Ski & Board Resort, climbing straight into the forest before breaking into views of Mission Peak. From there, it’s ridgelines, canyons, creek crossings, hoodoo rock formations, and remote lollipop loops that demand strength, patience, and strategy.
Highlights include the summit of Horse Lake Mountain with a sunset view over the Enchantments, the wild geology of Tronson Ridge, and the thrilling descent through Devil’s Gulch itself. This is not a course to underestimate, but it’s also one you’ll never forget.
100 Miler traverses ridgelines and canyons with creek crossings and a finish back at Mission Ridge and adds a remote loop near Blewett Pass, bigger climbs, and a second canyon lollipop, complete with pacer access at Horse Lake
