Wakely Dam Ultra

The Wakely Dam Ultra is a challenging 55K ultramarathon held in Piseco, New York, within the Adirondack Park wilderness. The race follows a remote, technical trail along the Northville Placid Trail between Piseco Lake and Wakely Dam, featuring 3,300 feet of elevation gain. It is a self-supported event, requiring runners to carry their own aid.

The course has no crossroads, with only two exit points, emphasizing the need for fitness, planning, and toughness. Participants receive a race shirt, swag, and meals including a pre-race pasta dinner and a post-race party. Camping is available nearby, but overnight parking at the Piseco Airport is prohibited.
