Virgil Crest Ultras

The Virgil Crest Ultras, held in Cortland, New York, is a challenging trail running event featuring distances of 100 miles, 50 miles, and 50 kilometers. Known for its significant ascents and descents, the course offers steep climbs, singletrack forest trails, and less technical footing that allows runners to find a flow. The race follows a loop or repeat circuit format, enhancing crew access and social interaction.

Weather can add to the difficulty, but runners are rewarded with scenic views like sunrises atop the opening climb. Pacers and poles are allowed for longer distances, and aid stations are crew-accessible. The event also features unique locally sourced finisher giveaways.
