The Rock Ultra

The ROCK ULTRA

The Rock Ultra 100 is the crown jewel of the weekend. Starting at 7PM on Friday night, this is a true ultra-distance night-time journey for the bold-hearted. Expect solitude, rhythm, and the surreal beauty of moving through the dark—followed by a long and rewarding Saturday on foot through wild terrain.

With an 8PM Saturday cutoff, this is not just a race—it’s an experience. Final course and support details will be shared soon, but this distance demands respect, preparation, and a good headlamp. The Rock Ultra 100 is a test of endurance, mindset, and mountain magic.
