Beast Of Burden - Summer
The Beast of Burden - Summer is an ultra-distance running event held in Lockport, NY, featuring 100-mile, 50-mile, and 25-mile race options. Set along the historic Erie Canal Towpath, the course begins at Wide Water’s Marina, offering amenities like showers, restrooms, and a fully stocked aid station. Runners traverse a paved trail, cross a historic drawbridge, and follow the scenic towpath with aid stations approximately every 5 to 6 miles, providing a variety of food and drinks.
Known for its supportive volunteers and challenging yet rewarding atmosphere, the event also offers a special "Double Beast Buckle" for those completing both the Winter and Summer 100-mile races in the same year. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
