You\u2019re In. Welcome to UltraTrax North Carolina.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

On March 20, 2027, you\u2019ll take on a full day of movement, challenge, and time on the trails at Tryon International.<\/p>\n

For the first time, UltraTrax is heading to the foothills of North Carolina\u2019s Blue Ridge Mountains. Set across Tryon International\u2019s 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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re here to walk 7 miles or push all the way to 28, the challenge is yours to define.<\/p>\n

10 hours. One 7-mile loop. Four distances. How far will you go?<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Trek Day<\/strong>
Saturday, March 20, 2027
Tryon International, Mill Spring, NC<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

UltraTrax is not a race, but it is a timed endurance event. You\u2019ll have up to 10 hours to complete your chosen distance.<\/p>\n

Move at your pace. Take breaks when you need them. Then keep going.<\/p>\n

Bib Pickup<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your bib may be mailed to you in advance or picked up on event morning.<\/p>\n

Participants registering after March 1, 2027 must pick up their bib in person.<\/p>\n

Taking on the Ruck Challenge?<\/strong>
If you registered for a weighted division, you\u2019ll need to bring your own ruck, backpack, or weighted vest.<\/p>\n

Your pack will be weighed before you begin. Everything in the pack counts toward your required weight except perishable food and drinks.<\/p>\n
