Massanutten - UltraTrax
UltraTrax at Massanutten is a single-day endurance walk held in Massanutten, VA. Participants choose from set distances and must complete their chosen distance within a 10 hour time limit to earn official finish recognition.
Distances offered:
- 7 miles
- 14 miles
- 21 miles
- 28 miles
The standard lap is a 7 mile loop with varied terrain and about 553 feet of elevation gain. The route on the western slope uses flowing singletrack, wide doubletrack, fire roads, and mountain-bike lines through forested Blue Ridge terrain and offers ridgeline views of the Shenandoah Valley.
For participants seeking a longer technical option, an advanced final segment along the ridgeline and ski slopes is available. That option adds steeper elevation changes and rock scrambles and will open only in safe weather; it may close if conditions are wet. Note there are no aid stations on the final ridge and ski slope segment.
Participants may walk without extra weight or ruck with 10, 20, or 35 pounds. The event provides timing, trail wayfinding, well stocked aid stations on the main loops, professional photos, and commemorative items including a patch, finisher shirt, and a Grey Wolf medal for higher levels. Discounted lodging is available at Massanutten Resort. A portion of registrations supports the Conservation Lands Foundation. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
