About this race

You’re In. Welcome to UltraTrax Central Florida.

Get ready for a full day of movement, challenge, and time outside at Westgate River Ranch Resort & Rodeo.

Set across 1,700 acres along the Kissimmee River, River Ranch offers a completely different kind of UltraTrax experience. Your course takes you through the wide-open landscape of old Florida, combining wooded trails, ranch roads, grassy stretches, and natural terrain beneath sprawling skies.

This one isn’t about climbing a mountain. It’s about settling into a rhythm, staying on your feet, and seeing just how far you can keep moving.

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
Westgate River Ranch Resort & Rodeo
River Ranch, Florida

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.

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:

  • A custom UltraTrax finisher medal (Grey Wolf Medal for 28 and 21 milers, Trail Wolf Medal for 14 and 7 milers)
  • UltraTrax event T-shirt
  • UltraTrax patch
  • Additional swag for weighted divisions

After your trek, stick around and enjoy the fun atmosphere. With dining, outdoor activities, and plenty happening around the ranch, River Ranch is a place where you’ll want to hang around after the miles are done. The resort offers everything from horseback riding and swamp buggy rides to airboat rides and its Saturday night rodeo.

Friends and family are welcome to join.

What to Expect at UltraTrax Central Florida

Old Florida, UltraTrax Style
Trade ski slopes and mountain ridgelines for wide-open ranch country. River Ranch gives UltraTrax a distinctly Florida feel, with wooded trails, grassy stretches, ranch roads, and expansive natural terrain.

Built for Finding Your Rhythm
The flatter profile means the challenge comes differently here. Settle into your pace, stay consistent, and let the miles accumulate. Twenty-eight miles is still 28 miles.

Wild Florida Along the Way
River Ranch sits along the Kissimmee River in an area known for its wildlife and natural Florida landscape. The resort highlights everything from birds and turtles to alligators throughout the surrounding environment.

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.

More Than Trek Day
River Ranch is built for making a weekend out of it. The resort offers cabins, camping, RV sites, glamping accommodations, dining, horseback riding, airboat rides, a water park, and a Saturday night rodeo, giving participants and families plenty to do before and after the event.

Parking

Parking is available onsite at Westgate River Ranch Resort & Rodeo.

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 in Central Florida.
