About the CanLake Ultras & Relay
The course circles Canandaigua Lake on roads, so you are never far from the water. The terrain is mostly flat to rolling, but there are several real climbs along the way, including one hill the locals have a name for. The longer route does the full loop; the shorter option picks up partway through on the back half, where the climbing is easier.
Runners can arrange a personal handler to meet them at points along the course, which is a meaningful option for a race this long. There are rules attached to that arrangement, and the race handbook spells them out clearly; a handler who breaks them puts the runner's result at risk.

The CanLake Ultras & Relay has been held every year since at least 2010. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
