WXT Ultra Description
WXT starts and ends in Washington Crossing Park, NJ. This year we will start and finish near the Camp Grounds and the soccer fields off Bear Tavern Rd. This is due to the Visitor Center construction. The 25K+ is mostly single track with 8.5 mile in Washington Crossing Park, short road sections. The 50K starts with the same 8.5 miles as the 25K+ Then travels across Church Road into the State side of BaldPate to connect to Pleasant Valley rd. From Pleasant Valley rd and head around the Howell Living Farm via Valley rd to the Dry Run Creek Trail. This is a beautiful short punchy trail that leads you to the Rock Hopper trail and the Aid Station where you cross rt. 518 to access the trail head for Rock Hopper. Rock Hopper is the most technical section of the course.
This year we will go out and back entering on Blue crossing the creek and picking up Red heading out to orange, crossing the power lines and turning around at the road and heading back the same way you went in. Once you exit Rock Hopper, cross back over RT. 518 you will head back to Washington Crossing the way you came.
