About UltraTrax Wisp

Get ready for a course that showcases the very best of Wisp’s Appalachian terrain. Your adventure begins at the resort base, climbing swiftly up the wooded ski-runs and service roads into the heart of the mountain. You’ll traverse flowing single-track, cut across wide double-track snow-cat paths, and ride high on ridge trails that offer sweeping views across Deep Creek Lake.

At the summit the vista opens up: panoramic mountain views, crisp air, and a rewarding vantage point before the real fun begins. From there, you’ll dive into the descent - rock-strode, tree-lined corridors, and flowing ski-trail connectors that funnel you back toward the village.

The final stretch brings you flying down toward the resort base, finishing at the heart of Wisp Resort where an incredible post-trek after-party awaits. Cold drinks, tasty food, music, and a vibrant community of outdoor enthusiasts will make crossing the finish line even sweeter.

 Choose your distance: 7, 14, 21, or 28 miles, and complete in 10 hours to earn the coveted UltraTrax Grey Wolf Medal. Toss on a 10, 20, or 35-lb weighted vest or ruck and unlock bonus finisher swag + serious bragging rights. The course will be extremely well marked.
