Ultratrax Schuylkill Trail

Ultratrax Schuylkill Trail - Philadelphia

Ultratrax Schuylkill Trail is a looped trail event held at the Schuylkill Center in northwest Philadelphia on September 26, 2026. The course is built from a 7-mile loop that offers varied terrain and steady elevation gain of 869 ft per loop. The route passes through dense hardwood forest, shaded singletrack, open meadows, ponds, ridgeline sections, and technical rocky stretches. Each loop returns to a central hub where the trail opens before heading back into the woods.

Participants may select one to four loops:

• Level 1 - one loop (7 miles)
• Level 2 - two loops (14 miles)
• Level 3 - three loops (21 miles)
• Level 4 - four loops (28 miles)

Rucking options allow participants to carry additional weight; typical weights noted are 10, 20, or 35 lbs, and participants provide their own vest or pack to be weighed on race morning. The event uses professional timing, well-marked trails, staffed aid stations, and on-course photographers. Trail packs include a commemorative patch and finisher shirt; Level 3 and 4 finishers earn a Grey Wolf medal. A portion of registration proceeds supports the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education. Parking includes limited on-site VIP spaces and an open lot in Conshohocken with complimentary shuttles to the event. Dogs are not allowed on the course and registrations are non-refundable but may be transferred for a small fee. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
