Manitou’s Revenge

Manitou’s Revenge

Manitou’s Revenge is a 53 mile ultramarathon through the Catskill Mountains, beginning in Windham, New York, and following the northern Black Dome Trail and the Long Path from Acra Point to downtown Phoenicia. The race uses trails in a remote mountain setting and lists 591 Big Hollow Rd as an event address in Windham.

The course features approximately 15,000 ft of climbing on rocky and precipitous terrain. While some sections are runnable, much of the route requires hiking uphill or down and occasional hand over hand movement. The course becomes progressively more difficult as it proceeds and many runners may encounter dark conditions on the hardest sections.

Because of the remote and difficult nature of the course, aid stations are limited. Runners should be prepared to be reasonably self-sufficient and able to manage stretches of up to three or four hours between aid stations. The event notes that it typically takes longer than an average 50 mile race.

Registration details include an initial registration period reserved for past finishers beginning 01 Feb 2026 and general registration opening 22 Feb 2026. Registrants enter a temporary waitlist and will receive an invitation to complete registration once qualified. Registration closes Sat, Jun 13.
