The Devil's Gorge
The Devil's Gorge is a trail event at Gorges State Park in Sapphire, NC on September 11, 2027, organized by Dirty Wolf Ultras. The event offers multiple distance options:
- 50K
- 25K
The course runs on trails with sustained elevation changes, steep climbs, technical descents, exposed roots, and rock gardens. The organizer advises bringing trekking poles; poles are allowed. In wet conditions the course may be shortened and converted to a 15 mile out-and-back route.
Aid station provisions include basic food items such as pickles, cereal, pretzels, candy, fruit, and bacon, plus hydration options including water, Tailwind, and sodas. First aid supplies will be available at the aid station. Finishers receive medals, and a 10 hour time cutoff applies.
Packet pickup is available the day before the event. Runners must wear bibs visibly on the front of their shirt or shorts for the duration of the race. Entry fees are non-refundable if the event is canceled, including for inclement weather; race deferral requests can be directed to the race director. The event operates as a private, registered event and unregistered participants are not allowed. Proceeds from the race support research into brain deterioration and learning disabilities.
