Finger Lakes 50S

The Finger Lakes 50s is an internationally recognized ultramarathon held in the Finger Lakes National Forest near Hector, NY. Scheduled for July 5, 2025, the event offers three trail race distances: 25K (16.5 miles), 50K (approximately 32.9 miles), and 50 miles. All races follow the same 16.5-mile loop course featuring 85% single-track trails, grassy pastures with grazing cows, and some dirt and paved roads, with 1,292 feet of climb per loop.

The 25K runners complete one loop, 50K runners two loops, and 50-milers three loops plus a short additional loop. The race starts and finishes at Potomac Group Campground, where a post-race BBQ and awards create a festive atmosphere. Four fully stocked aid stations support runners along the course.

Camping is available for participants during race weekend. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
