CanLake Ultras 50 Miler

Run one big road loop around the most beautiful Finger Lake in Western New York. The course is mostly flat to rolling roads with several major climbs, including the locally famous Bopple Hill.

CanLake Ultras 50Km

Run point-to-point over the final 31 miles of the 50-mile route.  With significantly less climbing and descending than the first 19 miles of the 50-mile route, the 50K is more friendly for first-time ultra runners and a logical step up from the marathon.
