CanLake Ultras - Canandaigua, NY
CanLake Ultras is scheduled for October 10, 2026, with a start and finish area at Finger Lakes Community College in Canandaigua, NY. The event comprises several race options held around Canandaigua Lake and organized by CanLake Ultras.
The 50-mile event follows one large road loop around Canandaigua Lake. The course is mostly flat to rolling roads and includes several major climbs, including Bopple Hill. The 50 km event covers the final 31 miles of the 50-mile route and has significantly less climbing and descending than the first 19 miles of the 50-mile course.

The event is fully supported with 11 aid stations offering fuel and views of the lake and surrounding vineyards.
