2024 Dark Divide Trail Races

Prepare your soul for what will likely be the most beautiful and wild races you will ever run! Wonderland Running is thrilled, honored, and humbled to announce the 2024 Dark Divide Trail Races!

Event Details

The Dark Divide 100 Miler will take place Friday, August 2 through Saturday, August 3, starting and finishing at the Cispus Learning Center. On Sunday, August 4, we will be holding the Dark Divide 50k and 15 Mile Fun Run, also starting and finishing at the Cispus Learning Center.

These races take place in the one of the most wild and beautiful places you will ever race... the vast, rugged, and remote 70,000+ acre Dark Divide Roadless Area. Expect to run one of the hardest races you will ever run as you travel on steep technical trails with long stretches in between aid stations.

The Dark Divide Trail Races will take you to seldom-traveled places that are unspeakably beautiful, soul-stirringly remote, and uncommonly rugged, in the heart of the Central Washington Cascades.

Location

The races will start and finish at the Cispus Learning Center near Randle, WA, with plenty of parking and camping available for runners.

Course Information

Participants will run through deep valleys, sub-alpine ridges, wild streams, and breathtaking viewscapes in the Gifford-Pinchot National Forest.

Qualifications

Participants in the 100 Miler race must meet specific qualification standards to ensure a safe and challenging experience.

Pacers and Volunteers

Pacers are allowed at designated aid stations, and volunteers are required to complete 8 hours of service to help preserve the natural areas where the races take place.
