Manitou’s Revenge

Manitou's Revenge: 53 mile ultramarathon

Manitou's Revenge is a 53 mile trail ultramarathon in the Catskills. The course begins in Windham, New York on the northern Black Dome Trail and follows the Long Path from Acra Point to downtown Phoenicia, New York. The route includes about 15,000 feet of vertical ascent and long sections of technical, rocky terrain that may require scrambling.

The event is organized with a limited number of aid stations and expectations of participant self sufficiency. The race has nine aid stations and a 23 hour time limit. Between checkpoints there are multi hour stretches without support, and pacers are not permitted. Race logistics include packet pickup at the Parish Hall in Phoenicia, bus transport from Phoenicia to the start area, check in at the start, and a post race meal in Phoenicia.

The organizer provides a race schedule, qualification and rules, and detailed route information so participants can study the course and prepare for the terrain and cutoffs. The course passes through singletrack and rock strewn descents and includes significant climbing and descending over varied trail surfaces.
