Charity and Atmosphere:

Beneficiary: Flutters of Hope Inc, a non-profit organization helping individuals and families affected by eating disorders. Proceeds support treatment access, as many insurance plans do not cover comprehensive care.
Why an Ultra Fundraiser: Distance runners are frequently under-diagnosed for eating disorders due to sport-specific demands. Data referenced by the event notes 1 in 4 adult males and 1 in 2 adult females experience some form of eating disorder.
Community Return Rate: Over 33% return rate across the past three years, with each runner leaving feeling a sense of belonging.
Scenic Setting: The course runs through October foliage in Upstate New York, making it a destination for fall running goals.
Inclusive Options: From 1-hour solo to 6-hour relay, the event welcomes those wanting to try an ultra, enjoy a short jog, or form a team.

The Flutters and Foliage Endurance Race 2026 combines timed endurance running with a meaningful mission: raising awareness and connecting those in need with eating disorder support services. Come for the buckle, stay for the community.
