Manitou's Revenge Ultramarathon is a 53 mile point to point trail running race which mostly uses the Long Path in the Catskills, from Windham to Phoenicia. These trails are rugged and there is 15,000 ft of gain on the course. Runners are allowed 23 hours to complete the course and must have previously finished a similar race of 50 miles or more in the last two years within the time limit for that race. The race is full of amazing scenery and our runners, who come from all over the country, keep coming back for more! We typically have less than 120 runners, since participation is limited by wilderness area restrictions. Multiple aid stations support the runners with food, fluids and first aid, and medical help is also available. This race is fully insured and permitted. 2025 will be our twelfth year! Registration opens on 2/1 for previous finishers and 2/21 for first timers.
Sign up to be on a waitlist for Manitou's Revenge Ultramarathon. Beginning on 2/1/25, qualified runners who have previously completed Manitou's Revenge will be selected to run in this year's race. After 2/21/25, other qualifying first timers can start the registration process. Check out our Website for more details & qualifications for the Ultramarathon!
