Winona Forest's Chase The Day Trail Ultra 2026

Chase The Day is the timed 24-hour race within the Winona Forest Trail Ultras, held in the 10,000-acre Winona Forest Recreation Area in northern New York. The format is straightforward endurance running: cover as much ground as possible within the time limit, with the venue located about six miles from Interstate 81. The broader Winona Forest Trail Ultras also feature a Backyard Ultra, where runners complete laps until a single competitor remains. The events are organized by the Winona Forest Recreation Association, the local organization responsible for the forest’s trail maintenance and outdoor activities.
