Burke Mountain - UltraTrax

UltraTrax at Burke Mountain is a single day endurance walk on October 25, 2026 in East Burke, VT. Participants choose from multiple distances and have ten hours to complete their chosen distance. The event accepts walkers, hikers, and ruckers, and offers optional weighted rucking with 10, 20, or 35 pound options.

The course is built around a 7 mile loop with 1,549 feet of elevation gain per loop. Terrain includes forested single track, old logging roads, rocky ridgelines, spruce soaked slopes, and open ski trail sections. The route finishes back at the base after a descent down wide mountain corridors and offers valley and mountain range views as elevation is gained.

Support and logistics include professionally timed results, trail wayfinding and signage, aid stations every 2.5 to 3 miles with water, electrolytes and snacks, and toilets at regular intervals. Each participant receives event gear and commemorative items such as a patch and a finisher shirt; the Grey Wolf medal is awarded for completing three or four loops. Lodging is available at Burke Mountain Lodge. A portion of registrations supports the Conservation Lands Foundation. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
