About the race
Many Lite is a trail race held on October 17, 2027, in Letchworth State Park near Portage, NY (9280 Parade Grounds Road). The course is approximately 20 miles on trails that pass waterfalls, overlooks, and scenic fall foliage along the Genesee River gorge.
The park terrain includes a gorge with three major waterfalls and cliffs up to 600 feet, and the route may run slightly long or short due to trail conditions. Hydration and support are provided in an ultra-style format: two staffed aid stations located near 6 miles (Tea Tables) and 15.5 miles (High Banks Camp), plus one water drop around miles 8–9. This is a cupless event; participants must carry their own cup, bottle, or hydration pack because no cups will be available at aid stations.
Entry cost is $85. Registered participants by October 1 receive a finisher shirt. Awards are given to the top three female and top three male finishers.
The event enforces course cutoffs. Runners and hikers must meet pace requirements that equate to roughly 2.5 miles per hour: the first 6 miles must be covered in about 2.5 hours, and the entire course must be completed within 8 hours. Aid stations are used to enforce these cutoffs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
