Get on the wait list if you don't get in right away - we tap the wait list as people cancel. Many, many people are invited into the race off the wait list, so go ahead and register. No guarantees, but it's worth getting on the wait list. If you're on the wait list and you get an invite through Ultra Signup into the race, you'll have 3 days to respond - either accept or decline, or after the second day you'll be removed from the list. Your credit card is not charged until you receive and accept an Ultra Signup email invitation off the wait list and into the race (if you decline the invite your card is not charged). Keep an eye on your email for an invite (check your junk box).

All three races will use the same loop course, starting and finishing at The Potomac Group Campground located off Potomac Road within the Finger Lakes National Forest. The course is a 16.5-mile loop covering single-track trail (85%), grassy pastures (5%) complete with grazing cows and cow pies, and dirt and paved roads (10%). There is 1292 feet of climb per loop. The 25K runners complete a single loop, the 50K runners do two loops, and the 50 milers complete three loops plus a half-mile baby loop. The 50K and 50Mile races start at 6:30am and 25K race starts at 8am. The 25K registrants can only complete the 25K race. However, those who register for the 50Mile or 50K will have a choice of completing the 50Mile or 50K - after two loops (50K distance), you can decide to finish there with the 50K distance, or go on to do a third loop and a half-mile baby loop to complete the 50Mile race. 50Mile and 50K registrants who only complete one loop (25K) will be a DNF. 50Mile and 50K registrants who decide to go on for a third loop but don't finish will be a DNF. Runners will encounter 6 fully stocked aid stations on the course.
