Event Details

The Virgil Crest Ultras take place in Cortland, New York. The event offers several distances: a 100 Miler, a 50 Miler, and a 50K. There is also a 100 Mile Relay option.

Course & Terrain

The course features significant ascents and descents, with steep sections and a high cumulative elevation gain and loss. The terrain includes singletrack forest trails with technical sections. Organizers state the course will be different from previous years, with a major shift planned. A full course map will be released later.

Participant Information

Poles are permitted for all runners. For the 100 Miler, pacers are allowed starting at 50 miles or at nightfall. The cutoff time for the 100 Miler is 36 hours. Runners who drop to a shorter distance will receive an unofficial finish time for that distance.

Crew & Logistics

Crew access is confirmed for the start/finish area and at least one other aid station along the course. Aid station cutoff times will be posted once the course is finalized.

Other Information

Finishers historically receive locally sourced giveaways. The event is held on the same weekend as the Greek Peak Running Festival. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
