The park has finished renovation of the stone wall and courtyard beside the Great Room building with some very nice landscaping!
2010 race registration opens March 8.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION

The 50 km race is four laps and the 100 km race is eight laps of the 12.5 km trail loop course that offers about 500 feet of climb each lap. The trails include shaded shoreline around scenic lakes, steep ascents and descents through upland forest, and panoramic views from rolling meadows. The course lies within Green Lakes State Park which is near Syracuse, New York.

100 KM TIME LIMITS

Participants that do not finish 87.5 km (finish lap 7) within 12 hours (by 6:00 p.m.) are not permitted to start their final lap.
The course closes at 14 hrs 15 min (at 8:15 p.m.).

FIELD LIMITS

150
A combined (50-km and 100-km) field of 150 is planned for race day. It is unlikely that a field limit will be imposed on the 100-km race since it is the championship race. It is more likely that the 50-km race will close when the combined field reaches 150. Field limits might be adjusted at any time to meet the needs of the park and race organization.

GREEN LAKES STATE PARK

This state park is a treasure just east of Syracuse, New York. The park takes its name from two glacially-formed lakes (Green & Round Lake) which get their distinctive color from deep clear waters and minerals. Round Lake is designated a National Natural Landmark.

Of the park's 1,756 acres, surveys have found nearly 800 acres of old growth forest. This multi-use park has campgrounds, miles of hiking/biking trails, and a golf course with restaurant. The beach provides swimming, picnic areas, a concession stand, showers, and a playground. This is a nice setting for family and crew.
