The Ivy Trek Ultra
The Ivy Trek Ultra is a trail running event held at Clarkco State Park on Saturday, September 25, 2027. The course is based on a 7.78 mile loop that runners repeat to cover the advertised distances. Trails are mostly double track with some single track, several bridges, a prominent pond and recurring views of Ivy Lake. The terrain is described as deceptively hilly; the start/split/finish area is adjacent to large grassy areas suitable for tents and picnic setups.
Distances
- 50K - four 7.78 mile loops
- 25K - two 7.78 mile loops
- 12.5K - one 7.78 mile loop
Participants must complete the designed route and stay on course to qualify for awards. There is a 10 hour overall time limit; runners who have not started their final loop by the posted cutoff may be asked to end their race and will be recorded at the distance completed if applicable. One aid station is located on the loop and the start/finish area also serves as an aid station. Runners are required to carry a personal water container; coolers are provided to refill containers. Littering may result in disqualification.
Chip timing with split data is provided and a results kiosk will offer printouts after finishing. Packet pickup is held at Pavilion 2 on race day. Overnight camping, cabins and pad fees at the park are separate from race entry and should be reserved directly with the park in advance. Proceeds support the Friends of Clarkco State Park.
