Lucifer’s Crossing

Lucifer’s Crossing is a trail race held at Old Y Camp in Robert Treman State Park, Ithaca, NY, on Sunday, 6.6, 2027. The event offers multiple distances and includes park admission, an event T shirt when registered before May 1, and post race food provided by Fittnell Farms.

Distances

• Half Marathon - 13.2 miles
• 10K - ~6.66 miles
• 5K - 3.3 miles

Each distance begins with a roughly 1.5 to 2 mile rolling ascent on the wooded Rim Trail. The 5K course turns left at the top of a historic, steep stone staircase to return on the singletrack Finger Lakes Trail. The 10K and half marathon descend through the Lucifer Falls gorge, pass through a natural amphitheater, then climb a steep section of the Red Pine Trail and loop by the historic Old Mill. Runners finish with a couple miles of mostly downhill singletrack on the Finger Lakes Trail. Half marathon entrants complete two loops of the 10K course.

Packet pickup is available the Friday before the race at the Y Camp staging area, with race day check in at the same Y Camp area. Parking is along the access road off Route 13 South, about a half mile past the split from Route 34; follow the access road, stay left at the opening split, and park in the right shoulder behind the cone as safely as possible.
