Holiday Valley : UltraTrax (May 30, 2027)
UltraTrax at Holiday Valley in Ellicottville, NY is a single-day endurance walk offering selectable distances and an overall 10-hour finish window. The event is professionally timed and held on a looped course that mixes singletrack, ridgeline, and fire roads.
The base loop is 7 miles with about 854 ft of elevation gain. The route traverses rolling hardwood glades, shaded hollows, gentle ridge sections, and occasional openings with valley views. Trails are well marked and volunteers are stationed at key intersections.
Distances
- 7 miles, one full loop
- 14 miles, two loops
- 21 miles, three loops
- 28 miles, four loops
Participants may walk unweighted or ruck with 10, 20, or 35 pounds. Aid stations are placed roughly every 2.5–3 miles and provide water, electrolytes, snacks, and toilets. Finisher recognition includes a commemorative patch, an UltraTrax finisher shirt, and the Grey Wolf Medal for completing three or four loops; there is bonus swag for ruck participants.
Lodging is available at Holiday Valley properties, including the Inn at Holiday Valley, which lists pools, hot tubs, sauna, and slopeside access. A portion of registration proceeds supports the Conservation Lands Foundation. Training resources, course maps, and volunteer opportunities are provided by the organizer.
