About this run
The Devil's Den Ultra returns in 2026 for another test of endurance on the rugged Vermont trails. Located in Bradford, VT, this event offers a challenging 10K loop on Wright's Mountain, designed to push runners' perceived capabilities. The course features a mix of terrain, from easily runnable sections to steep, rocky, and root-filled climbs and descents. Runners will face an initial steep ascent to the mountain's peak, followed by a technical downhill through the woods before returning to the start/finish area. A single road crossing occurs near the beginning of the loop. Beyond the 10K, the Devil's Den Ultra also includes 12-hour and 30-hour race options, all utilizing the same challenging loop. Participants finishing any distance will receive a unique Devil Tarot card, with additional cards and awards available for top performers in the longer ultra distances.
