About this race
Welcome to UltraTrax Gore Mountain
Get ready for a full day of movement, challenge, and time on the trails at Gore Mountain in the heart of the Adirondacks.
Your course takes you from forest to ridgeline through Gore’s rugged mountain terrain, weaving together shaded woods, creek-side trails, rooty stretches, mountain roads, and sustained climbs. With dense Adirondack forest surrounding much of the route and glimpses of the mountains and valleys beyond, Gore is a course that rewards the work you put into every mile.
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 Details
Trek Day will be held at Gore Mountain, North Creek, New York.
The start line is open between 7am–10am and is divided into corrals based on distance:
- 28 milers: Start at 7am
- 21 milers: Start at 7:45am
- 14 milers: Start at 8:30am
- 7 milers: Start 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 the bib-mailing cutoff 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:
- Custom finisher medal: Grey Wolf Medal for 28 and 21 milers, Trail Wolf Medal for 14 and 7 milers
- Event T-shirt: UltraTrax event T-shirt
- Patch: UltraTrax patch
- Additional swag: For weighted divisions
After your trek, stick around and enjoy the Base Camp atmosphere. Food and drinks will be available for purchase, with space to recover, refuel, and celebrate with other participants. Friends and family are welcome to join you at Base Camp.
What to Expect at Gore Mountain
A True Adirondack Mountain Challenge: Gore delivers sustained climbing, rugged trail, and the kind of terrain that makes seven miles feel like an accomplishment. Expect a mix of forest trails, roots and rocks, mountain roads, and elevation that keeps your legs working throughout the loop.
Miles Under the Trees: Much of the course travels beneath the canopy of Gore’s dense Adirondack forest, following shaded trails through hardwoods and evergreens before opening periodically to wider mountain terrain and views beyond.
The Higher You Go, the Better It Gets: As the course climbs, the landscape changes with it. Creek-side stretches and deep woods give way to broader ridgelines and elevated sections with glimpses across the surrounding Adirondack mountains and valleys.
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
Complimentary parking is available onsite at Gore Mountain.
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 land conservation and organizations working to protect and maintain the trails and outdoor spaces we depend on.
You’re officially part of the pack! We’ll see you at Gore Mountain.
