Massanutten UltraTrax
On April 17, 2027 in Massanutten, VA, UltraTrax runs a 10-hour endurance walking challenge where participants choose how far to go. Distances are set by loop count, with options to add weight for a rucking division.
Choose from these distances:
- 7 miles
- 14 miles
- 21 miles
- 28 miles
The course is a mountain-built trek across Massanutten’s western slope. The looped route uses flowing singletrack, wide doubletrack, and mountain-bike lines, with ridgeline sections that open to views of the Shenandoah Valley. One loop measures 7 miles with about 553 feet of elevation gain. For an additional challenge, an optional final segment follows the ridgeline and ski slopes and includes steeper elevation changes and technical rock scrambles; this segment is open only in safe weather and may close if conditions are wet.
Event support includes professionally timed tracking, clearly marked trails, well stocked aid stations, shuttle service to the start with parking near the finish, and professional photography. Every participant receives a commemorative patch and event shirt; medal awards differ by distance: Trail Wolf for 7 or 14 miles and Grey Wolf for 21 or 28 miles. Rucking divisions use participant-provided weight of 10, 20, or 35 lb and are weighed the morning of the event.
A portion of registrations supports the Conservation Lands Foundation, with a minimum annual donation commitment. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
