WXT Ultra is a trail race held at the Phillips Farm Day Use Area in Washington Crossing Park, Titusville, New Jersey (1239 Bear Tavern Rd). The 50K course is 31 miles out and back, with just under 3000 feet of climbing. The route combines technical single track, horse trails, country roads and a rocky section near the midpoint. The Rock Hopper segment is identified as the most technical section.
The course leaves Washington Crossing Park, moves across Church Road into BaldPate and follows Pleasant Valley Road around the Howell Living Farm, then via Valley Road and Woodens Lane to the Dry Run Creek Trail and Rock Hopper. The 25K route features Washington Crossing Historic Park and BaldPate and returns directly to the finish in Washington Crossing.
There are multiple aid stations including Washington Crossing, BaldPate Vista (limited hydration and Honey Stinger waffles) and Rock Hopper (full aid with perogies). Tailwind Naked is available at all aid stations, and Tailwind Unflavored plus Honey Stinger waffles and gels are provided at designated spots. Aid station locations include miles 3.5, 7.3, 11, 15.5, 22.5 and 26.5.
For the 50K there are enforced cut-offs: 2 hours for the Washington Crossing 7.5 mile section, 6 hours at the Rock Hopper Route 518 aid station, a BaldPate aid station cut-off at 3pm, and a finish line cut-off of 8 hours 30 minutes. There is no cut-off for the 25K.
Proceeds benefit the Washington Crossing Park Association. A WCPA baked potato bar is available on race day; it is free to participants and volunteers and costs $5 for others. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
