With 7, 14, 21, and 28-mile options, the UltraTrax Challenge at Bear Creek Mountain in Macungie, PA, is a scenic trek through the trails and winding paths of the mountain. Participants will journey through varied terrain and elevation up to 1200 feet to push their mental and physical capabilities. Carry 10, 20 or 35 pounds for an extra challenge and to earn additional swag! Aid stations with water, electrolytes and snacks will be located every 2-3 miles along the course. Bathrooms will also be available at similar intervals. The course has been slightly adjusted this year to allow for additional double track trails between miles 2 through 5.
