Frozen Devil's Head - January 9, 2027
Frozen Devil's Head is a 21.6 mile out and back road race near Sedalia, CO, running from the gate at Highway 67 to the top of Devil's Head and back. The course gains 2,627 feet of elevation, starting at about 7,640 feet and reaching about 9,662 feet at the turnaround just below the lookout. All climbing is on the outbound leg.
Rampart Range Road is closed to vehicles from December 1 through spring; the race uses the closed road. Surface conditions vary by week and may include packed snow, ice in shaded sections, refrozen ruts, dry dirt, or a mix of these conditions.
Aid stations and services are located at the start and finish, at about mile 5.4, at the turnaround (10.8 miles), and again at about mile 16.2 on the return. Hot fluids and shelter are available at the start, finish, and turnaround. On-course aid may be delivered by snowmobile or ATV.
There is a mandatory gear list; gear may be checked at packet pickup, at the start, and at the turnaround. Traction requirements are decided during race week and announced by email at least 48 hours before the event. Additional details: a turnaround cutoff is enforced, the field is limited to 200 runners, the entry fee is $92, the event is cupless so participants must carry their own bottle or flask, and no crew or spectators are allowed past the gate. Weather conditions can shorten, delay, or cancel the race; those decisions involve the Forest Service.
Parking is available in a public lot on the south side of Highway 67 at Rampart Range Road, before the gate. Registration closes Wed, Jan 6 at 11:59 PM MT. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
