UltraTrax Holiday Valley 2027

UltraTrax Holiday Valley guides walkers, hikers, and ruckers across the ski-resort terrain of Holiday Valley in Ellicottville, New York, during spring. This is a trail endurance event, not a standard road race, offering four distance options: 7, 14, 21, or 28 miles. The structure allows participants to select a shorter outing or a full day on their feet, while the rucking division presents an additional challenge for those carrying a weighted pack. The course crosses Holiday Valley’s wooded slopes, ridgelines, glades, wide ski runs, shaded paths, and rolling terrain. Ruckers tackling the 21- and 28-mile routes face the most demanding conditions, where pacing and pack weight are as critical as speed. Holiday Valley organizes the event with UltraTrax, and the finish area is located at the resort base, where spectators and participants congregate before heading to Spruce Lake trails, the golf course, or Ellicottville’s dining and shopping establishments.
