Devil's Ladder Ultra

Devil's Ladder Ultra is a special day for us, and we want to thank you for joining us 🙏 We appreciate all of the feedback we have received; you have been so generous!

In a completely unplanned and rare moment, nearly all of our Organization Team were in the same place at the same time. Sadly, Dan and Colleen were busy doing actual work in another location and didn't make the photo 😢

We hope you mark July 10, 2027 on your calendar 🗓️

Devil's Ladder Ultra photos are now live!

I had a blast chasing runners around this rugged and vast course in the Cumberland community forest last weekend. Stoked to have hit upper Queso for the 50km runners, with some break in the clouds too. As well as some of the Trent River Canyon trail, but legs were definitely feeling it after this shoot!

Happy to have captured a bunch of emotion. This race is a great one.

Tonight!

The effort is over, the legs are feelin' it, and now it’s time to celebrate! Join us at RAD Brewing for a night dedicated to reliving the highs, the lows, and the incredible community spirit of the Devils Ladder Ultra. Whether you raced, volunteered, cheered from the sidelines, or just want to hang out with some awesome people, you’re invited!
Here is what we have lined up for the night:

🏃‍♂️ Recovery Run/Walk 7:15pm: We’re kicking things off with a casual, easy-paced recovery run/walk hosted by the legends at Run to Beer. No pressure, just moving the legs!

📸 Big Screen Photo Release 8:00pmish: Relive the race in high definition. We’ll be debuting the official event photos by Nick Thornton and Rob Allen up on the big screen. Come find your race face!

🍺 RAD Brews & Good Vibes: Grab a pint, catch up with friends, swap trail stories, and celebrate everyone's massive achievements.

Ooooo, it's going to be a great day!

Pre-race emails went out yesterday. Bib pickup today @ Foveō from 3-8pm. Swing by for your race kit, donuts, sweat testing, electrolyte samples, allll the things!

You can also get your bib at Race Central on Race Day!

Huge thanks to the Squirrel's Nut Butter crew for the stellar addition to our race packages.

Because they’ve got your back (and everything else) covered, we can focus on what matters most: enjoying the world-class singletrack and crushing a cold one together in the beer garden afterward. 🌲🍻

Good news for your post-race hydration plans: our favourite non-alcoholic brews are back at the finish line!

With these waiting for us at Village Park, the RDs will have to blame something else for any slip-ups during the announcements… 🤐🍻

A massive shoutout to Athletic Brewing for their continued support of the Devil’s Ladder Ultra.
