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 and sometimes climb hand over hand.

Aid stations are sparse, with runners potentially facing long stretches of 3 to 4 hours between them, demanding self-sufficiency. The race becomes increasingly difficult as it progresses, often requiring navigation in the dark. Despite its toughness, the scenic Catskills setting offers a memorable experience for participants.
