Come join us at the Land Trust of North Alabama’s Wade Mountain Preserve!
Whether you’re looking to qualify for the championship at Big Dog’s Backyard Ultra or just looking to try something new, this is the race for you. We’ve created a course using the traditional format and a very comparable course for you to see just how far you can go.
If you ain’t first, you’re last! Here in the south we know racing and the Devils Racetrack is the real deal. Come run for fun or run for glory. Either way you’re guaranteed to be in first place until you’re done.
Our race is setup as Lazarus Lake intended it, with the first quarter mile or so on road to clear the field then a single track trail loop. Each hour at the top of the hour the horn will blow and the race will start a new. You must be the starting corral to start a loop or your out!
Once darkness arrives the race will move completely to the road loop until the sun comes back up.
Each loop is exactly 4.167 miles and must be completed within the hour if you wish to continue. (Runners must be in the starting corral when the horn sounds!). That’s a 14:24/mile pace or better. You can do it!
