Red Devil Trail Runs

We are excited to be back on these great Wenatchee National Forest trails south of Cashmere! The 50K, 25K and 10K runs held on single-track trails and old logging roads have earned a reputation as some of the most challenging in the Pacific Northwest!

Start times

50K — 6:30 a.m.

25K — 7:30 a.m.

10K — 8 a.m.

 

50K

The Red Devil 50K has quickly become one of the Pacific Northwest’s must-do races. The race starts and ends at Sandcreek Trailhead and includes the Red Devil, Red Hill, Devil’s Gulch and Mission Ridge trail systems in the Wenatchee-Okanagan National Forest, outside of Cashmere, WA. These trails form an incredibly challenging 7,200 feet of climbing to challenge even the most seasoned trail runner. We will have two fully staffed and supplied aid stations on the 50K course, one of which you will pass twice at miles 9 and 26. The other you will pass at mile 17.

There will be a water only, self-serve station at mile 5. At mile 9, 17 and 26 we will have the usual Ultra running fare and plenty of Hammer Nutrition products as well.

Depending on COVID-19 conditions at the time of the race, we will be following additional precautions including wave starts, aid station protocols and requirements for mask use. More details will be available within a month of the race depending on requirements in place and the state of the pandemic.

25K

The 25K — also a loop with the start and finish at Sandcreek Trailhead — includes the Red Devil, Red Hill and Devil’s Gulch single track trails, features close to 4,300 feet of elevation gain and is the first 9 miles of the 50K course. One water only, self-serve station will be located at mile 5 and a fully staffed aid station will be at mile 9. We will have the usual Ultra running fare, to include PB and J sandwiches, pickles and pickle juice, water, electrolyte drink, cookies, candy, pretzels, fruit, gels, etc.

10K

The out-and-back 10K, which also starts and ends at the Sandcreek Trailhead, and is on well-maintained logging and Forest Service roads, has an elevation gain of 1,000 feet. There is one water/electrolyte station, which you pass twice as the course is out and back.

We reserve the right to pull you off the course if you are behind these times. At Mile 9 and 26 (Devils Gulch Trailhead) is an extraction point, where runners can be shuttled back to the start/finish area if injured or do not meet the cut-off criteria. Here are the cut off times:

Mile 9 (Devils Gulch TH): 3 hours
