UltraTrax Greek Peak - May 1, 2027
UltraTrax at Greek Peak is a single-day, 10-hour endurance walking challenge in Cortland, NY. The course is built from a 7-mile loop that moves through shaded single-track, creek-cut valleys, steady ridge climbs, and hardwood woods, with views across the Finger Lakes foothills. Terrain is described as varied with a total elevation gain of 1,480 ft; start elevation is 950 ft and peak elevation is 1,350 ft.
Participants choose a target distance and may add weight with a ruck or vest. Distances offered:
- 7 miles one full loop
- 14 miles two loops
- 21 miles three loops
- 28 miles four loops
Weight options include unweighted or rucks of 10 lb, 20 lb, or 35 lb for bonus recognition. Every 7-mile loop carries an UltraTrax Course Rating (UCR) to indicate its physical demands. The course is professionally timed, well marked, and supported by aid stations roughly every 2–3 miles with water, electrolytes, snacks, and toilets. Professional photographers will capture the day and included finisher items vary by distance, such as a commemorative patch, venue-specific T-shirt, Trail Wolf Medal for shorter distances, and Grey Wolf Medal for longer distances.
Event logistics note lodging at Greek Peak Mountain Resort, spring season conditions with an average temperature listed at 70°F, volunteer opportunities offering free registration and merch, and a commitment to donate a portion of registrations to land conservation, with a minimum annual contribution of $10,000.
