Attention all walking, hiking, rucking, and outdoor-loving ICA athletes! We’re putting together a team for UltraTrek Bear Mountain on 4/6/25, and we’d love to have you join us! It’s a walking and rucking endurance challenge with 7, 14, 21, and 28-mile race options. The course utilizes a scenic, 7-mile loop, up and down the trails of the Bear Creek ski mountain. Participants will journey through varied terrain – paved, gravel, dirt, and rocky paths – and elevation up to 1,000 feet to push their mental and physical capabilities.
Aid stations with snacks/beverages and restrooms will be available every 2.5 miles of the course, making the event beginner friendly. Seasoned vets can level up the experience and earn extra swag by adding a 20- or 35-pound pack or weighted vest.
The event kicks off at 7am, and athletes will have 10 hours to complete the course. Finishers will receive a custom t-shirt, patch, premium canvas tote bag, and refreshments and food after the race. Cost varies based on your distance: $64 for 7-miles up to $124 for the full 28-mile challenge.
If you want in, register through the website linked above and be sure to write in “Iron Cross Athletics” as your team! Reach out to Nikki Warnek, Dave Boelker, or Dennis Mooney with questions – and to let us know you registered!
