CanLake Ultras 50 Miler

Run one big road loop around the most beautiful Finger Lake in Western New York. The course is mostly flat to rolling roads with several major climbs, including the locally famous Bopple Hill.

CanLake Ultras 50Km

Run point-to-point over the final 31 miles of the 50-mile route.  With significantly less climbing and descending than the first 19 miles of the 50-mile route, the 50K is more friendly for first-time ultra runners and a logical step up from the marathon.

(For runners that plan to use personal handler at the CanLake Ultras) I accept full responsibility for the personal handler(s) actions that personal handler(s) will familiarize themselves with and follow all safety rules outlined in the Race Handbook. Failure to follow safety rules by the personal handler(s) -intentional or unintentional - will result in the runner's DISQUALIFICATION.
