PPTC Endurance Fest

PPTC Endurance Fest is a looped road ultramarathon held in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, on Sunday, December 6, 2026. The race begins and ends near the Lincoln Road Entrance and uses repeated 3.33 mile loops around the park. The course is described as a spiritual successor to several New York City road ultras, including the Knickerbocker 60k and the Metropolitan 50 Mile.

Two distance options are offered:

50 miles
50 kilometers

Runners complete either 9 or 15 loops of the 3.33 mile circuit. The event uses a pot-luck style aid station that is accessible on every loop; registrants are encouraged to contribute one shareable item for that aid station. Hydration on course is provided by Skratch Labs. All finishers receive finisher buckles.

The event has a 15 hour cut-off. Registration for the event opens Monday, June 1, 2026 at 12:00 AM ET. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
