About the race
CanLake Ultras & Relay is scheduled for October 9, 2027 in Canandaigua, New York, with the race base at Finger Lakes Community College. The event includes multiple ways to participate: solo 50 mile, solo 50 km, a 50 mile relay, and a solo pacer option.
The 50 mile race is a single road loop around Canandaigua Lake. The course runs on mostly flat to rolling roads and includes several major climbs, including Bopple Hill. The 50 km covers the point‑to‑point final 31 miles of the 50 mile route and has less climbing and descending than the initial portion of the longer course.
The event is described as fully supported with generous aid stations. The organizer allows personal handlers but requires they follow race safety rules; failure to comply can lead to disqualification.
Registration policies are relaxed: participant transfers and distance switching are allowed through October 7, 2027 with no fees. Deferrals to the next year are allowed through September 18, 2027 with no fee. Refunds are available through September 4, 2027 and will include 100% of the registration fee but will not include RunSignup fees. The organizer reserves the right to cancel events with low registration and, if that occurs, will provide a full refund or credit to another event.
Volunteer roles include a race shirt and a post‑race meal for all volunteers; some leadership positions receive free entry to other events and group nonprofit volunteers may receive a portion of race revenue. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
