Welcome to the FOOLs' THIS is the ultimate "road" trip across the state of New York.
Welcome to the Clown show, if you are here, it is because you are a little bit odd. The good news is that we welcome that in this exclusive club of the foolish.
This race was the brainchild of two Ultrarunners during COVID, and after some deliberation it was started along the banks of Niagra Falls in 2023.
Originally 409* miles the course has been refined to a cool 420ish. With only a handful of starters year one and two this race is not for the weak of feet.
Luckily there are four distances to pick from, all with amazing locations to start.
420 racers will start with their back to Niagra Falls (any closer and you'll need a barrel)
226 racers will start along Lake Ontario
100ish racers will start with their feet touching Cranberry Lake
50 racers will start in the shadow of the Olympic ski jumpers in Lake Placid
All racers will cross the ADK mountains following the same route finishing near the home of Champy the Lake Monster. Any racer who can capture Champy gets a free race for life.
,Regardless of distance racers will traverse on foot across the state on a designated route until they reach and touch the Samuel Champlain statue near Port Henry, NY. There will be two categories for racers in the distances
1.Un- Afraid- self supported
