Cayuga Trail

June 5th 2027
Ithaca, NY
50 KM | 50 Miles

We're grateful to have had support from and access to hard worked and maintained amazing trails of the NYS Parks and Finger Lakes Land Trust. Grateful for the larger trail family, for returning volunteer crews from TrailsRoc (register for Many On The Genny), Binghamton Area Trail Runners, Happily Running (check out their event lineup), and dozens of volunteers pouring in time to make it happen. We're grateful for all of you, a couple streakers who may toe the line for their 14th straight, and so many other first timers who make it part of their year's adventure lineup. It's a beautiful place, it's a beautiful family, and it'd be great to have you in the mix.

Cayuga Trails has often been referred to or named as one of the most scenic courses in the country. It offers miles of singletrack, the passing of dozens of waterfalls as it winds through gorges, signature historic stone stairs, and mixed eastern forests. It's roughly 95% trail, 5% paved, and only a few miles where you'll overlap in out/back format with other entrants. There's roughly 10,000' of elevation gain for the 50 mile, and 7,000 for the 50k.

Entrants will get to run a beautiful course supported by amazing volunteers, post-race food from Fitnell Farms, finisher's medal from Ragged Cuts in Connecticut, and a Patagonia Sun Hoody.

Portions of each entry will go to support the Finger Lakes Land Trust, Finger Lakes Trail Conference, and State Parks Heritage Trust for local trail and park projects.

We'll again encourge going cupless so bring a silicone cup or something similar if hydrating with more than your bottles or bladder.
