Course Overview

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.

Course Details:
Estimated Distance: 100k+ (feels like 65 miles)
Estimated Elevation: 10,000G/11,000L
Aid Stations: 11 (fully stocked) 7 with EASY access for your crew.
Volunteers: The very best in the business.
