CanLake Ultras

CanLake Ultras starts runners from Finger Lakes Community College in Canandaigua, New York, on a road ultra in October. Options include 50-mile solo, 50 km solo, solo pacer, and 50-mile relay captain. The 50-mile race begins in early and regular waves, the 50 km starts later in the morning, and all finishers have until evening before the course closes. The 50-mile course is a large road loop around a Finger Lake, featuring mostly flat to rolling roads with several major climbs, including Bopple Hill. The 50 km runs point-to-point over the final 31 miles of that route, omitting much of the opening section's climbing and descending. This makes it suitable for marathoners attempting their first ultra and experienced runners seeking a shorter distance. Personal handlers are permitted, but the race enforces safety rules strictly, with disqualification possible for handler violations. The event is in its twenty-fourth year.
