You have 10 hours. How far can you go? UltraTrax is a single-day endurance walking challenge where you choose your distance: 7, 14, 21, or 28 miles. Complete it unweighted or take it up a level with a 10, 20, or 35 lb ruck and earn bonus swag along the way. Built for all experience levels, UltraTrax brings together anyone ready to see what they’re capable of.
A mountain-built trek across Massanutten’s rugged western slope. Push your pace. Carry your weight. Move with the pack.
Massanutten is getting a major upgrade for 2027 with two course options to choose from, designed for every level of participant.
Beginner and intermediate trekkers can complete their entire experience on the scenic Western Slope trail system, featuring flowing forest trails, steady climbs, and rugged Shenandoah terrain without the steepest descents.
For advanced participants looking for an extra challenge, an optional final segment will open up along Massanutten’s ridgeline and ski slopes adding steeper elevation changes and highly technical rock scrambles. This is extremely challenging and should only be attempted if you’re an experienced hiker!
Please note: the advanced ridgeline/ski slope option will only be available in safe weather conditions and may close in the event of rain or wet terrain.
