Race Devils Tower

Race Devils Tower runs over June 19 and 20, 2027, at Devils Tower, Wyoming. Three trail distances are offered: 42 km (26.1 mi), 21 km (13 mi) and 5 km (3.1 mi), on courses circling the rock formation that gives the national monument its name. Start times and elevation gain are not listed in our records.

North-eastern Wyoming in late June is hot and dry by mid-morning, and the ground around the tower offers little shade: carry your own water even on the 21 km, and start drinking before you feel thirsty. The altitude here is moderate rather than punishing, so the limiting factor is heat management rather than thin air — pace the first half by effort and the second will take care of itself.
