Divide Trail Race (25K-50K) - Jul 25, 2026 | Butte, MT

Prepare for an unforgettable adventure at the Divide Trail Race on July 25, 2026, setting off from the Eagles Nest parking area in Thompson Park, just south of historic Butte, Montana. This thrilling event invites runners to join the "Wolf Pack" for an exhilarating journey along the breathtaking Continental Divide Trail (CDT). Choose your challenge with either a 50K or 25K distance, both offering a unique blend of rugged mountain running and historical exploration. The course promises a diverse experience, with approximately 75% single track, along with double track, gravel roads, and a small percentage of pavement. Runners will traverse the iconic Milwaukee Road Trail, dashing through historic train tunnels (headlamps highly recommended for these dark passages), conquering the picturesque Pipestone Pass at elevations ranging from 6,348 to 6,470 feet, and navigating stunning train trestles and the rolling trails of Thompson Park.

The Divide Trail Race features significant elevation, with the 25K gaining around 2,400 feet and the 50K doubling that to approximately 4,800 feet. While offering a full aid station at Pipestone Pass and water stations on the route, runners are advised that segments can be largely self-supported, emphasizing the need to carry adequate hydration, especially given typical race day conditions that can see highs around 84F and lows around 47F, with only a 4% chance of precipitation. The scenery is consistently praised by runners, featuring panoramic views of Big Sky Country and well-groomed, soft single-track sections on the CDT.

Starting and finishing at around 6,000 feet elevation, the race promises camaraderie and a rewarding trail experience through historic landscapes. Leashed dogs are welcome to join their owners on the course, adding to the community feel of this challenging event. Every participant receives a custom souvenir race medal, race bib, and sticker, alongside aid station support. This is more than just a race; it's a chance to immerse yourself in Montana's rugged beauty and tackle a truly unique trail challenge.
