You’re In. Welcome to UltraTrax Wachusett. Get ready for a full day of movement, challenge, and time on the trails at Wachusett Mountain. Your course winds through Wachusett’s wooded mountain terrain, combining steady climbs, rocky stretches, ski slopes, and forest trails through pine and hardwood forest. This is a course that makes you work for every mile, with enough elevation and variety to keep things interesting from your first loop to your last. Whether you’re here to walk 7 miles or push all the way to 28, the challenge is yours to define. 10 hours. One 7-mile loop. Four distances. How far will you go? Complete your goal within the 10-hour event window. Want another layer of challenge? Take it on with a 10, 20, or 35 lb. ruck or weighted vest.

What to Expect at Wachusett A Mountain Course That Makes You Earn It Wachusett packs a lot into seven miles. Expect sustained climbing, rolling mountain terrain, rocky sections, wooded trails, and stretches across the ski area that will keep your legs working throughout the loop. New Views Every Loop Move through dense New England forest, open ski terrain, and changing elevation as you make your way around the mountain. Wachusett delivers the kind of course where each completed loop feels earned. A Challenge You Choose There is no single definition of success at UltraTrax. Walk your first 7 miles, chase 28, or add weight and see what you can carry. Support Along the Way Expect a well-marked course, stocked aid stations, event staff, and a community of people working toward their own goals alongside you. Parking Complimentary parking is available onsite at Wachusett Mountain. More detailed arrival, parking, course, and event-day information will be sent as Trek Day gets closer. Move With Purpose UltraTrax is all about spending more time outside, moving farther than you thought you could, and helping protect the places that make those experiences possible. A portion of UltraTrax proceeds supports land conservation and organizations working to protect and maintain the trails and outdoor spaces we depend on. You’re officially part of the pack! We’ll see you at Wachusett.

Maddie Walter’s life changed at 16 after a 30-foot fall caused a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Following weeks in a coma, ICU care, and months of rehab, she had to relearn basic skills. Once a standout student-athlete, she faced immense challenges. Throughout her recovery, Maddie embraced many different therapies and worked hard to overcome the deficits brought on by her accident. Unfortunately, many of these therapies were not covered by insurance and her family's search for financial assistance through grant programs yielded few options. Wanting the best for Maddie, her family took on the financial burden associated with exploring different therapies which was offset, in part, by the generous financial assistance of family, friends, neighbors, the Westwood community and beyond. Inspired by that generosity and wanting to pay it forward the Walter family founded Life Goes On After TBI, a 501(c)3 charity that supports TBI survivors by fundraising, educating and distributing grants to help offset the expense of treatments and therapies not covered by insurance.
