The Devils Race Track Backyard Ultra

The Devils Race Track Backyard Ultra is an endurance running event held at the North Alabama Land Trust’s Wade Mountain Preserve near Huntsville, AL. The race features a 4.167-mile loop combining runnable single-track trails, including the famous Devils Race Track loop, and a short road section to start. During daylight, runners navigate scenic trails, while overnight laps shift to a soft asphalt road loop.

The format follows the traditional backyard ultra style: runners must complete each loop within an hour and be at the start line when the horn sounds to continue. The last runner standing wins, with special awards for those reaching 24 hours or 100 miles. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
