You can get a “bird’s eye” view of our course by taking advantage of our “Virtual Course Tour” in the upper left corner of our site (may require browser plugin and/or browser upgrade).

The course starts out on the towpath in front of Wide Water’s Marina located on the south side of the canal.  The course is a 25 mile “out and back” loop.  100 mile racers must complete 4 loops and the 50 Miler participants must complete 2 loops.

* Due to risks involved with this race we require all 100 mile participants to have completed at least one official 50 mile race.  (This will be cross checked with UltraSignUp’s extensive database)

Course Aid

The first aid station is approximately 6.5 miles out and the turn around is 6 miles further (12.5 miles from start). All three aid stations will be stocked with a variety of food and hot beverages. All three aid stations will be heated and have restrooms.

The Starting Line:

The race will start at the beginning of the towpath as shown on the map below.  The first mile of the race is on a paved trail.  After you cross the bridge on the North side of the canal you will be on a very racer friendly crushed cinder surface.  While trail shoes aren’t necessary, some find the use of gaiters helpful.
