Wakely Dam Ultra

Experience the challenge of the Wakely Dam Ultra, a 55K ultra marathon set amidst the stunning wilderness of New York's Adirondack Park. This self-supported race unfolds along a rugged section of the Northville Placid Trail, featuring 3300 feet of elevation gain and no crossroads, offering only two exits at Piseco Lake or the Wakely Dam. To ensure participant safety, a validation race is required during registration, with qualifying options including a 5:45 road marathon or a 9:30 50k trail race within the last 12 months. The event, known for its technical terrain, demands meticulous planning and endurance. The 2025 registration fee of $112 covers race essentials like a shirt, meals, and post-race celebrations for both runners and their families. Conquer the Wakely challenge on July 26th, starting from the Piseco Airport and culminating at the finish line where the dedicated Wakely Dam Crew awaits. Embrace the camaraderie and festivity post-race, knowing that every detail, from course cleanliness to participant validation, is meticulously managed.
