Virgil Crest Ultras

Virgil Crest Ultras is a trail running event in Cortland, NY on September 12, 2026, organized by Happily Running. The event offers multiple trail distances and uses varied singletrack and technical terrain with notable climbing and descending.

Course notes report steep ascents and descents, significant cumulative elevation gain and loss, and variable weather that can increase difficulty. The course will differ from previous years; organizers plan a major course shift and will publish maps and updates when available. A photo gallery from a prior year is available for visual reference.

Support and logistics: the 100 mile event has a 36 hour cutoff from the official start. Aid station cutoffs and full course aid details will be posted once the course is finalized. Distance drop policy gives an unofficial finish time for the distance a participant drops into. Crew access is confirmed at the start/finish and at least one additional station; other crew-accessible stations are to be announced.

Policies: 100 mile entrants may use pacers at or after 50 miles or at nightfall. Poles are permitted for all entrants; if left at an aid station for transport they must fit inside a drop bag.
