What is the CMRR ?

Traditionally, the Catskill Mountain Road Race (CMRR) has been a 100K relay race featuring 5-person teams where each teammate runs two (2) 10K segments. The event has also historically included "SuperTeams" consisting of 6-10 people, each running one or more of the 10K legs.

As the race has developed since its inception in 1992, it has also intrigued ultrarunners, and in 2011, attracted the first solo runners since the race founder ran the entire 100K himself in 1994.

Today, the CMRR, now renamed "Catskill Mountain 100K Road Race & Relay", is more than just a relay. It is still the only 100K relay race in the northeast, and the oldest relay of any distance in the region. It is also now the most challenging and scenic 100K road ultramarathon east of the Mississippi River. Ultrarunners will revel in the challenge of the course, with many gut-busting hills, and a changing landscape that will evoke wonder in the eyes and imagination of the intrepid distance runner.

Relay runners will enter as a team and self-support, as has been the tradition of this longstanding event. The 2018 race brought a record number of registered teams and featured great running weather, allowing several course records to be set, including Cole Crosby's 8:16:16 in the solo division, which translates to an 8:00/mile pace.

However it is you decide to participate, Catskill Mountain 100K Road Race & Relay will be a day of excitement, and one you will remember for a long, long time.

Race Support

RELAY TEAMS
All registered relay teams will support themselves for the duration of the race. Although it's quite possible to support your team with just one large vehicle, two vehicles are highly recommended, as it will make for a more comfortable (and less frenetic) day in the mountains.

SOLO ULTRA RUNNERS
Because of the remote nature of the course, all 100K solo runners are now required to have a support crew, even if it's only a crew of one(1), as it makes for a more emotionally-relaxed day for you, and allows race staff to give necessary focus to the finish line. Just as with the relay teams, please have your crew car equipped with all the necessary supplies of food, clothing, hydration, etc. There are general stores in Grahamsville (70K) and Sundown (80K) where you can purchase food supplies.
