About the race
The Catskill 100 is a trail running event presented by The Running Kind around Elka Park, New York, with the Huckleberry Point Trailhead listed as the location. The course crosses four New York State Wilderness Areas and follows technical trails in the Catskill Mountains.
The route covers approximately 100 miles and includes summits of 12 Catskill High Peaks: Indian Head, Twin, Sugarloaf, Plateau, Hunter, West Kill, Wittenberg, Cornell, Slide, Big Indian, Eagle and Balsam. The course also includes the full length of the Devil's Path. The organizer presents the event as one of the first carbon neutral 100 milers in the country. Total elevation gain and descent is noted as over 25,000 ft.
Entry to the 100 Miler is by application. A list of pre approved qualifying races is available and previous completion of a 100 mile or 100K event may be accepted as equivalent. Runners start in timed heats every five minutes with 15 runners per heat; female and non binary runners are released before the men.
Support logistics: crew may meet runners and drop or pick up pacers at specified aid stations. Drop bags are provided at several aid stations. Pacers must register, complete a gear check, wear a pacer bib, and follow rules about vehicle drop off and no muling. Runners or crew who do not follow standards may be disqualified.
