UltraTrax Wisp Resort
UltraTrax at Wisp Resort in McHenry, MD on April 10, 2027 is a single-day, 10 hour endurance walking challenge where participants choose how far to go. The event offers looped distances, optional weighted rucking, and a mix of trail surfaces.
The course is built on Wisp’s mountain terrain and combines shaded single-track, punchy climbs, and open ski-trail stretches. Runners and walkers will gain views over Deep Creek Lake and the surrounding Allegheny Mountains as elevation is earned. The base loop measures 7 miles with about 802 ft of elevation gain per loop and varied terrain.
Distances
- 7 miles - one loop
- 14 miles - two loops
- 21 miles - three loops
- 28 miles - four loops
Participants may complete the course unweighted or add a vest or backpack for an additional challenge; weight options listed include 10, 20, or 35 lb. The event includes course timing, regular aid stations, clear trail marking, professional photography, and venue-specific finisher items such as a commemorative patch, a custom T-shirt, and Trail Wolf or Grey Wolf medals based on distance. Lodging and local recreation around Deep Creek Lake are available nearby. A portion of registrations supports land conservation, with a stated annual donation commitment.
