The Big Ultra Map

---

The Big Ultra Map affords trail nomads several different criteria to find trail and ultramarathon events throughout the United States. Users can filter by season, distance and/or duration (for backyard and loop style events) or simply by typing the name of an event in the Event Name search box in the events table. All of these features allow users to distill events into a useful list for further research and registration.

Additionally, users can select ecoregions of interest and use them to make a selection of events on the map that considers all of the other supplied filters. This is where the wanderlust kicks in. Imagine the possibilities, participating in amazing trail events in the diverse ecosystems across the US and quickly creating a short-list of the most preferred events. For simplicity only three of the four levels of ecoregions have been provided. Level I for a macro-level representation. level III for a more granular intermediate representation and level IV for the most refined view.  Check out the Ultra Event Proximity Heat Maps overlay layers to understand the geographic distribution of events throughout the US. Spoiler Alert: The Appalachian Mountains are HOT!

All events have hyperlink information in the table and map popup that allow users to investigate further and find registration details on the event webpage. Start exploring!!
