Lucifer's Crossing
Lucifer's Crossing is scheduled for Sunday, May 31, 2026, at the Old Y Camp in Robert Treman State Park, Ithaca, NY. The event is organized by Red Newt Racing and offers multiple trail distances within the park.
Distances available:
- Half Marathon - 13.2 miles
- 10K - ~6.66 miles
- 5K - 3.3 miles
Each distance begins with a roughly 1.5 to 2 mile rolling ascent on the wooded Rim Trail. The 5K route turns left at the top of a historic, steep stone staircase to return on the singletrack Finger Lakes Trail. The 10K and Half Marathon drop through the Lucifer Falls gorge, ascend the steep Red Pine Trail, pass the historic Old Mill, and finish with a couple of mostly downhill miles on flowing Finger Lakes Trail singletrack. Half Marathon participants complete two loops of the 10K course.
Entrants receive park admission, an event T-shirt (guaranteed only for registrations before May 1), and post-race food provided by Fittnell Farms. Early packet pick-up is available the Friday before the race, with additional race-day check-in and packet pickup. Parking is along the access road serving the Y Camp staging area off Route 13 South, with the Y Camp area serving as the check-in and start/finish location.
