Manitou’s Revenge

Manitou’s Revenge is a challenging 53-mile ultramarathon held in the Catskill Mountains, starting in Windham, New York. The course follows the northern Black Dome Trail and the Long Path from Acra Point to downtown Phoenicia. Featuring approximately 15,000 feet of elevation gain, the route is rugged, rocky, and steep, requiring runners to hike hand over hand in some sections.

Aid stations are sparse, with runners potentially facing 3 to 4 hours between them, demanding strong self-sufficiency. The terrain becomes increasingly difficult, often tackled in darkness. Despite its toughness, the race offers stunning scenic views, making it a memorable experience for ultrarunners. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
