Green Lakes Endurance Runs : Fayetteville, NY
Green Lakes Endurance Runs are trail events held at Tulip Hill Picnic Area in Green Lakes State Park, Fayetteville, NY. The event features multiple fixed-distance races and a timed 12-hour event.
Distances include:
- 100K nearly eight-mile loops, total of eight laps
- 50K four laps of the same loop
- 25K two laps of the same loop
- GLER GALEFORCE 12 Hour Race clockwise 3-mile loop around Green and Round Lakes
The fixed-distance loop is almost exactly eight miles and mixes single and double track, grassy single track, dirt roads, and some asphalt. The route includes two ascents and one long descent through upland forest with roots, ruts, and stones, plus about 3+ miles per loop across upper meadows called the Serengeti. The lower lake section is shaded and relatively flat. The timed 12-hour race uses a different, shorter loop confined to the lower lakes area.
Amenities and services include race shirts for entrants who registered at least 14 days prior, finisher medals and drinkware, podium recognition, age-group awards, two stocked aid stations and one unmanned water drop, marked course turns and confidence markers, a midway aid station on the far side of the Serengeti, space for crew gear near Race HQ, and a raffle with at least one ticket per registered entrant.
Administrative notes: no registration refunds after July 16, 2026, and awards and finisher items are distributed only on race day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
