About

Set on the wooded trails of Mt. Hoevenberg in Lake Placid, this backyard ultra unfolds in the heart of the Adirondacks, where runners return to a forest loop again and again until only one remains. The format creates a steadily intensifying test of endurance and resolve, with each lap demanding both physical strength and careful pacing. The course pairs scenic woodland running with enough challenging terrain to keep every loop honest, while the mountain setting brings a rugged, immersive atmosphere. More than a simple race, it captures the communal spirit of ultra running, balancing competition with camaraderie as the field is gradually whittled down and determination takes center stage.
