The Experience

The UltraTrax Gore Mountain race unfolds on the wooded slopes and broad ridgelines of Gore Mountain, offering a refreshing escape into nature. The course is almost entirely shaded, winding along creek-side paths, through rooty woods, and on ridge roads, all while providing glimpses of the Adirondack air and surrounding valleys. This timed event, not strictly a race, allows participants up to 10 hours to complete their chosen distance, making it accessible for various fitness levels.

Runners can select from 7, 14, 21, or 28-mile options, with the 21.1 km (14 miles) being a popular choice. The event encourages a unique challenge with optional weighted vests or rucks, adding an extra layer of difficulty and earning bonus swag. The course is noted for being extremely well-marked, ensuring a smooth journey through the varied terrain.
