Iroquois Trails Ultras are 50 and 100 mile ultramarathons located in Virgil, N.Y. and are intended to provide endurance trail athletes an additional opportunity in the northeast. The event uses The Finger Lakes Trail sections spanning the Tuller Hill and Kennedy State Forests, paired with the mountainous terrain of Greek Peak Mountain Resort.
This year’s races will begin at 6 a.m. on Saturday September 19, 2009, and will include a 50-mile race, a 100-mile race, and a 100-mile relay (new this year). Entry will open on February 5th, 2009, and be limited to the first 150 qualified entrants in both of the solo events. The 100 Mile Relay will be open to only the first 30 teams.
A not-for-profit venture, the event is being funded by the Finger Lakes Running Company and secondary sponsors in support of the Ithaca Enclave and trails maintenance organizations.
After this year's event, Iroquois Trails Ultras will change its name to Virgil Crest Ultras. For details and latest updates check out News.
