Manitou’s Revenge

Manitou's Revenge

Manitou's Revenge is a 53 mile ultramarathon in the Catskill Mountains, starting in Windham, N.Y., following the Black Dome Trail and the Long Path from Acra Point to downtown Phoenicia, N.Y. The course includes approximately 15,000 ft of climbing and passes through rocky and steep terrain.

The route contains some runnable sections but often requires hiking uphill or downhill and occasional hand over hand movement. Because of the remote and difficult terrain, aid stations are limited and runners should expect stretches of up to three or four hours between aid stations. The course becomes progressively more difficult along the route and portions may be run in the dark.

Registration opens February 1, 2026 for previous Manitou finishers; general registration opens February 22, 2026. Registrations submitted between February 1 and February 21 by runners who are not previous Manitou finishers will be removed from the waitlist without notification. Initial registration places entrants on a temporary waitlist and qualified entrants will receive an invitation to complete registration.

Refunds minus the Ultrasignup fee are available until May 1. Refunds are available at any time for pregnancy or postpartum needs.

The route travels scenic sections of the Catskills and finishes in downtown Phoenicia, N.Y. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
