-
Can I run the course?You won’t be disqualified for jogging or running sections—this is an endurance challenge, not a race. That said, UltraTrax is designed with walkers in mind, so we expect everyone to follow good trail etiquette: Respect walkers first. Announce “On your left!” (or similar) before overtaking and wait until you have clear space to pass. Pass only where it’s safe. If the trail narrows to single-track or feels crowded, slow to a walk and stay in line until it opens up again. Keep the trail natural. Stay on the marked path; don’t step off-trail or cut switchbacks just to move ahead. Share the vibe. If you’re weaving through dense groups, consider matching the walking pace for a bit so everyone can relax and enjoy the experience. Following these guidelines keeps the course safe, preserves the environment, and ensures every participant—runner or walker—has an awesome day on the trail. Thanks for looking out for each other!
-

We have staff stationed throughout the path who are regularly monitoring and walking every part of the course. If you cannot finish, one of our course directors will find you and shuttle you back to the finish line.

How will I know where to go?All routes are clearly marked and cell service is available throughout the course. You won’t get lost!
