UltraTrax Burke Mountain

UltraTrax Burke Mountain

UltraTrax Burke Mountain takes place on October 25, 2026 in East Burke, Vermont. The event is a timed walking challenge on a 7-mile loop that combines forested single-track, old logging roads, rocky ridgelines, and spruce-lined slopes with sweeping valley and mountain-range views. The loop has varied terrain and about 1,549 feet of elevation gain.

Participants choose how many loops to complete. Each level permits adding a weighted vest or ruck (10, 20, or 35 lb options) and must be finished within a 10 hour completion window to qualify for official finisher recognition.

Distances

• 7 miles - one full loop, option to add weight
• 14 miles - two full loops, option to add weight
• 21 miles - three full loops, option to add weight
• 28 miles - four full loops, option to add weight

Finishers receive event items such as a commemorative patch and a finisher shirt; Level 3 and Level 4 finishers are eligible for the Grey Wolf medal. The course is professionally timed, well marked, and supported by volunteers and aid stations. Onsite amenities include parking, post-trek food and refreshments, and professional event photography. A portion of registration proceeds supports the Conservation Lands Foundation. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
