From the Organizer
UltraTrax is back at Greek Peak for an awesome day of challenge and fun! Experience a forest-forged trek through Greek Peak’s rolling ridges and quiet hardwood glades. The route winds along shaded single-track, creek-cut valleys, and steady ridge climbs with glimpses across the Finger Lakes foothills. Push your pace. Carry your weight. Move with the pack.
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 well stocked aid stations supporting you along the way.
