When registering for this race, you will be asked to provide relevant experience and be added to the waitlist so that we can review your information. We will then add you from the waitlist after reviewing.
Relevant experience:

- Impressive performances at sub ultra or non-trail races
Course
The course will start at Camp Chingachgook and follow a dirt path to the Buck Mountain trail. The course will go over Buck Mountain and connect to the Sleeping Beauty trail via Shelving Rock/Dacy Clearing Rd. The course will then go over Sleeping Beauty and connect to the Black Mountain trail via Fishbrook Pond. The course then summits Black Mountain and drops to Black Mountain Point on the shore of Lake George. The course then climbs over the shoulder of Erebus Mountain and connects back to Dacy Clearing Rd. Finally, the course will mirror the start of the race by climbing back over Buck Mountain and finishing back at Camp Chingachgook.
