Valkyrie Ultra Heptathlon : Durango 2027
The Valkyrie Ultra Heptathlon is a seven-discipline multisport relay held in Durango, Colorado on September 18, 2027. The event runs over one day across the San Juan Mountains and combines trail running, mountain biking, stand-up paddleboarding, open-water swimming, road cycling, river paddling, and road running.
Teams may register in different formats. Standard teams cover two to nine racers; one team entry covers the whole roster and teammates join free. Ultra teams consist of two or three racers, and every racer in an ultra team must be 18 or older. A solo category is also offered; a solo athlete races all seven legs and must be 18 or older. First Wave and other registration windows set different prices and close on specific dates; First Wave places are limited and close when filled or on January 31, 2027.
The event has been raced since 2021 and moved to Durango in 2023. Five editions have been completed, and podium results and finishing times are preserved in the event Hall of Fame. Registered wingmates provide support for teams; wingmates are a crew role and are not a racing leg. The event is not free and various price tiers apply depending on entry type and registration window. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
