Twisted Branch Trail Run
Twisted Branch Trail Run is a point to point ultra run in Naples, NY, held on the Bristol Hills Branch trail. The primary distance is 100K with an estimated course distance listed as 100k+ (feels like 65 miles). The course is nearly 95% single track and follows a historic trail that passes through wilderness and small lake towns.
The course is not a groomed park trail and includes technical, runnable sections that can be physically and mentally demanding. Estimated elevation is listed as 10,000G/11,000L. There are 11 fully stocked aid stations, five of which have easy access for crew. The event uses a 20 hour cutoff. All finishers earn UTMB qualification points and the race is a Western States qualifier if finished in under 20 hours.
Logistics include a Friday night only shuttle service option that returns vehicles to the finish; the shuttle is available for an additional fee at checkout. Camping is offered free both nights: Friday at Ontario County Park near the starting area and Saturday at the Hammondsport Fire Hall grounds near the finish. Registration closes on Sat, Aug 1 at 11:59 PM ET. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
