Prepare to embark on an unforgettable trail adventure at the UltraTrax Greek Peak, taking place on May 9, 2026, in scenic Cortland, NY. This challenging yet rewarding event offers participants a unique opportunity to test their limits amidst the stunning landscapes of Greek Peak Mountain Resort. Choose your distance from a 7-mile loop to a formidable 28-mile trek, with options for 7M, 14M, 21M, and 28M, all to be completed within a generous 10-hour cut-off.

The course is a forest-forged journey through rolling ridges and tranquil hardwood glades, winding along shaded single-track paths, through picturesque creek-cut valleys, and up steady ridge climbs that reveal breathtaking glimpses across the Finger Lakes foothills. With approximately 1,480 feet of elevation gain per 7-mile loop, runners can expect varied terrain that provides both flowing sections and panoramic ridgeline views. UltraTrax Greek Peak distinguishes itself by welcoming walkers, hikers, and ruckers of all levels, offering the unique option to enhance your challenge by carrying a 10, 20, or 35-pound weighted vest or ruck for additional swag and bragging rights. Typical race day conditions in early May feature comfortable highs around 65°F and lows around 42°F, with a low chance of precipitation.

Runners consistently praise the "supportive community, staff, and other hikers" and find inspiration in the diverse fitness levels on the course. The event promises a strong support system with well-marked trails and a lively atmosphere, culminating in a festive post-trek party at Base Camp. Here, participants can refuel with delicious food and refreshments, and even enjoy other onsite activities like zip lines and a mountain coaster. Those who conquer the 21M or 28M distances will earn the coveted UltraTrax Grey Wolf Medal, a testament to their endurance and spirit. A portion of every registration also supports the Conservation Lands Foundation, contributing to a meaningful cause.
