Organiser's Description

YOURE IN. WELCOME TO ULTRATRAX WISP.

On April 10, 2027, youll take on a full day of movement, challenge, and time on the trails at Wisp Resort.

This years revised course features even more trail mileage and some of the best of Western Marylands Appalachian terrain. Starting from the resort base, youll climb into the mountain through wooded ski runs and service roads before moving onto flowing single-track, wide double-track paths, and ridge trails overlooking Deep Creek Lake. From the high point of the course, the route turns downhill through tree-lined trails and mountain connectors before bringing you back to the heart of Wisp Resort.

Whether youre 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.
