The Twisted Branch Trail has everything you are looking for in an ultra running experience. This is a classic, old school point to point trail that’s rooted in the Finger Lakes region of NY. Wind your way through some of the most brutal & beautiful places you can find. This is the perfect summer destination race. Bring your family and explore the trails, parks, wineries, breweries & lakes. You know you want to run long, now it’s time to get Twisted.
The Twisted course follows the historic Bristol Hills Branch trail, a nearly 60 year old trail stretching between 2 of the coolest small lake towns you can find anywhere in the world. This is the kind of race you bring your family to. The kind you can build a vacation around. There’s no nicer place to be in August than in the Finger lakes.
This race is hard. Do not let its course profile fool you. While this is a runnable trail, this is not a groomed park trail. This unforgiving course challenges the strongest of runners both mentally and physically. Sections that appear to be flat on the elevation profile may be the hardest miles you do all day. Don’t underestimate how difficult it will be to finish this race.
The trail is nearly 95% single track, winding its way through some of the most wild places you can find. Places you didn’t think existed in New York.
