UltraTrax Wachusett Mountain
UltraTrax at Wachusett Mountain is a single-day endurance walking event in Massachusetts on August 28, 2027. Participants have a ten-hour window to complete their chosen distance on a looped course. Distances available:
- 7 miles - one loop
- 14 miles - two loops
- 21 miles - three loops
- 28 miles - four loops
The route uses wooded single-track, old access roads, ski slope sections, and exposed upper mountain terrain. The course includes steady climbs, rocky pitches, and winding forest trails through pine and hardwood stands. Loop length is seven miles; final course details are subject to update.
Participants may add a weighted vest or ruck in 10, 20, or 35 pound increments. Aid stations are positioned roughly every 2.5 to 3 miles and provide water, electrolytes, snacks, and toilet facilities. The event is professionally timed and the trails are marked with signage, tape, and volunteers. UltraTrax is organized for walking, hiking, and rucking; sustained running is discouraged.
Finish recognitions and gear vary by distance: a commemorative patch, a venue-specific T-shirt, Trail Wolf medals for shorter distances, and Grey Wolf recognition for completing the longer distances. A portion of registrations supports land conservation with a minimum annual donation commitment. Local lodging options include the Colonial Hotel with pool, hot tub, restaurant, and fitness facilities. Training resources and volunteer opportunities are available.
