UltraTrax Massanutten

Massanutten is getting a major upgrade for 2027, with a true “choose your own adventure” format designed for every level of participant. This year, we have two course options. 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. Once completed, all participants will be shuttled back to base camp to pick up their swag and enjoy the post-trek hang out! 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, bigger views, and a dramatic finish down the mountain. This advanced route is designed for experienced hikers and ruckers who want to test themselves on more technical terrain. Please note: there will be no aid stations located along this final segment, so please plan accordingly. Also: 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.  Choose your distance: 7, 14, 21, or 28 miles, and complete in 10 hours to earn the coveted UltraTrax Grey Wolf Medal. Toss on a 10, 20, or 35-lb weighted vest or ruck and unlock bonus finisher swag + serious bragging rights. The course will be extremely well marked with fully stocked aid stations throughout! Trek Day Information UltraTrax Massanutten kicks off at 7am on April 17, 2027. The starting line will be open from 7am to 10am with the post-trek party starting at 11am.
