YOU DON’T CONQUER MANITOU.
YOU MEET YOURSELF THERE.
Manitou’s Revenge — 53 mile Ultra. Unforgiving climbs. Miles between mercy, and a finish line that feels like survival. No pacers. No fluff. Just the wild, the night, and your will to crawl out the other side.
Welcome to the Edge of Endurance.
Forget what you know about 50-milers. Manitou’s Revenge is a different beast — feral, unforgiving, and wholly indifferent to your pain. 53 miles and 15,000 vertical feet of jagged Catskill wilderness, you’ll claw through technical climbs, stagger down rock-strewn descents, and scramble on all fours more times than you’ll want to admit.
Yes, there are moments you can run. But they’re fleeting. This course is designed to slow you down — and break you open. That’s why we give you 23 hours. That’s why there are only 9 aid stations. This is self-sufficiency on a stopwatch. Between checkpoints, you’ll go hours alone — with only the terrain, your breath, and your doubts for company.
Manitou’s Revenge is a 53 mile ultramarathon through the Catskills beginning in Windham, N.Y. on the northern Black Dome Trail and then mostly following the Long Path from Acra Point all the way to downtown Phoenicia, N.Y.
