Fools Ultra 100
Sep 26, 2026
The Fools Ultra 100 is a roughly 100-mile point-to-point crossing of New York, from Cranberry Lake in the western Adirondacks to the Samuel Champlain Statue near Port Henry on Lake Champlain. Racers self-navigate through Adirondack high country with a 72-hour limit — roughly 33 miles per day — and choose between crewed and self-supported categories. Part of the Fools multiday series launched in 2023, it shares a route corridor with the 50-, 226-, and 420-mile entrants also crossing the state that week.
