UltraTrax North Carolina

You’re In. Welcome to UltraTrax North Carolina.

On March 20, 2027, you’ll take on a full day of movement, challenge, and time on the trails at Tryon International.

For the first time, UltraTrax is heading to the foothills of North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains. Set across Tryon International’s 1,600-acre property, the course will take you beyond the arenas and into a landscape of wooded trails, rolling terrain, open stretches, and quiet foothills. Tryon’s extensive trail network gives this course a perfect setting to challenge your endurance - less about steep vertical and more about settling into the miles and finding your rhythm.

Whether you’re here to walk 7 miles or push all the way to 28, the challenge is yours to define.

10 hours. One 7-mile loop. Four distances. How far will you go?

Complete your goal within the 10-hour event window. Want another layer of challenge? Take it on with a 10, 20, or 35 lb. ruck or weighted vest.

The course will be clearly marked from start to finish, with well-stocked aid stations positioned along the route to keep you fueled and moving.

Trek Day
Saturday, March 20, 2027
Tryon International, Mill Spring, NC

The start line is open between 7am-10am and is divided into corrals based on distance. 28 milers get started at 7am, 21 milers at 7:45am, 14 milers at 8:30am, and 7 milers at 9:15am.

UltraTrax is not a race, but it is a timed endurance event. You’ll have up to 10 hours to complete your chosen distance.

Move at your pace. Take breaks when you need them. Then keep going.

Bib Pickup

Your bib may be mailed to you in advance or picked up on event morning.

Participants registering after March 1, 2027 must pick up their bib in person.

Taking on the Ruck Challenge?
If you registered for a weighted division, you’ll need to bring your own ruck, backpack, or weighted vest.

Your pack will be weighed before you begin. Everything in the pack counts toward your required weight except perishable food and drinks.

What’s Waiting at the Finish
Finishers will receive:

• A custom UltraTrax finisher medal (Grey Wolf Medal for 28 and 21 milers, Trail Wolf Medal for 14 and 7 milers)
• UltraTrax event T-shirt
• UltraTrax patch
• Additional swag for weighted divisions

After your trek, stick around and enjoy the venue and enjoy restaurants, gathering spaces, and other amenities, making it a great place to recover, refuel, and celebrate after the miles are done.

Friends and family are welcome to join you as well!

A Challenge You Choose
There is no single definition of success at UltraTrax. Walk your first 7 miles, chase 28, or add weight and see what you can carry.

Support Along the Way
Expect a well-marked course, stocked aid stations, event staff, and a community of people working toward their own goals alongside you.

Parking
Parking is available onsite at Tryon International. The venue is located at 25 International Boulevard, Mill Spring, NC 28756, conveniently off US-74.

More detailed arrival, parking, course, and event-day information will be sent as Trek Day gets closer.

Move With Purpose
UltraTrax is all about spending more time outside, moving farther than you thought you could, and helping protect the places that make those experiences possible.

A portion of UltraTrax proceeds supports efforts to protect and preserve the outdoor spaces we depend on.

You’re officially part of the pack! We’ll see you in North Carolina.
