Virgil Crest Ultras

The Virgil Crest Ultras, held in Cortland, New York, offers challenging ultramarathon distances including a 100-mile, 50-mile, and 50K race. Known for its significant ascents and descents, the course features singletrack forest trails with less technical footing, allowing runners to find a flow. The event uses a loop or repeat circuit format, enhancing crew access and social interaction.

Weather can add to the difficulty, but participants are rewarded with scenic views like sunrises over the opening climb. Pacers and poles are allowed for longer distances, and aid stations are crew-accessible. Finishers receive unique, locally sourced giveaways, adding to the event’s appeal.
