UltraTrax Massanutten : April 17, 2027
UltraTrax at Massanutten is a single-day endurance walking challenge on April 17, 2027. Participants choose from loop distances and have a 10-hour window to complete their chosen distance to officially finish the challenge and qualify for event awards where applicable.
Distances offered
- 7 miles

The course is built on Massanutten’s western slope with a 7-mile loop, varied terrain, and 553 feet of elevation gain per loop. Start/finish sits near 950 feet with peaks around 1,350 feet. The western slope route features flowing forest singletrack, wider doubletrack, and steady climbs across rugged Shenandoah terrain.
For advanced participants an optional ridgeline and ski slope segment adds steeper elevation changes and technical rock scrambles. That optional segment is only open in safe weather and may close when conditions are wet.
Rucking options allow added weight categories of 10, 20, or 35 pounds; participants must provide their own weight and packs are weighed the morning of the event. Perishable items such as water and snacks do not count toward total weight.
Event support includes professionally timed tracking, well marked trails, stocked aid stations, professional photography, and a trail pack with a commemorative patch, event T-shirt, and venue medals. Discounted lodging is available at Massanutten Resort. A portion of registration fees supports land conservation with a minimum annual donation of $10,000. Dogs are not allowed at the event.
