The Race Devils Tower returns to Devils Tower in Wyoming on June 21st, offering runners a unique and historic journey through the shadow of North America’s first national monument. This year marks another chapter in what has become an annual pilgrimage for athletes seeking both personal challenge and awe-inspiring views.
Devils Tower stands as a sentinel over the prairie landscape of northeast Wyoming, its towering rock formation drawing visitors from across the country to marvel at its geological splendor. On race day, participants will experience not just a run but also a rare glimpse into this iconic landmark’s intimate details, running through Campstool Ranch with exclusive perspectives that few ever see up close. The event is framed by an entire weekend of family-friendly festivities, including live music and hay rides, making it a full-scale celebration for all ages.
Established as a cornerstone event in Wyoming’s racing calendar, the Race Devils Tower has grown steadily since its inception. Each year, hundreds gather to commemorate this special place with their own personal bests or simply enjoy the camaraderie of like-minded runners. The race is not just about crossing the finish line but also supporting local charities and fostering a sense of community among participants who come together from all corners of Wyoming and beyond.
The Race Devils Tower takes place on Campstool Ranch, known for its expansive meadows and rolling hills that offer both scenic beauty and varied terrain. The 5K course is designed to showcase the ranch’s picturesque stretches while also challenging runners with gentle inclines and out-and-back routes along well-maintained trails. For more serious athletes looking to push their limits over a longer distance, the half marathon offers an even deeper exploration of this historic property.
Starting at dawn on race day, participants will begin from Campstool Ranch’s main entrance where clear signage guides runners through each mile marker with aid stations strategically placed along both courses for hydration and encouragement. The route is open for four hours total, providing ample time to take in the stunning vistas that surround Devils Tower throughout your run.
Weather conditions on race day typically hover around an average temperature of 18 degrees Celsius (64°F), which feels like a comfortable mid-summer morning with winds averaging at about 25 km/h. Humidity levels remain moderate, leaving room for some variability in the weather but generally ensuring runners are prepared for brisk yet pleasant running conditions.
