Divide 100

Kendra Joseph first female in 37:18 -- first hundred!

Rafael Safarti finishes first in 33:25. "That was hard in a lot of different ways."

Where does the Divide 100 rank in difficulty? I tend to not like those lists magazines put out every year, but as a new race, there's no one to ask about difficulty!

I've been on most of the mountain 100 course in the US in some fashion, and I would the Divide is definitely harder/slower than the Bear, Grindstone, High Lonesome, or Bighorn, but definitely faster and easier than Hardrock and maybe Ouray (I've only been on the bits of that course that overlap Hardrock).

We've got the altitude and we've got the climbs to challenge you, but nowhere competes with the remoteness of the Hardrock course.

Given UTMB's new apparent "pay to play" model with Ironman, we will not be applying to be a UTMB qualifying race this year or likely moving forward. Given UTMB's popularity, we had conceded the points system previously for our 100k but have little desire to support the Ironman corporation (which has a long history of predatory and pay-to-play practices).

If you'd like to see how much "Americans do not understand trail running", come run our race. 🙃

UTMB and Ironman partner for World Series, replacing Ultra-Trail World Tour The Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc Group adds Tarawera in New Zealand and Ultra-Trail Australia to its list and are looking for races in North America.

Big Changes for 2021 and beyond!

We have changed the 100k to a 100 mile out-and-back, eliminating the 10 miles of road from the course and the night start. This way, more people get to see more of this beautiful area in the daylight.

Registration is open at Ultrasignup. Our USFS permit is set, but we are finalizing local permits (everything is very understandably behind this year), so no credit cards will be charged for entering until after those are confirmed.

We'll see you in August!
