The Fools Ultra: Revenge of Champy

About the Event

The Fools Ultra: Revenge of Champy returns to Crown Point, New York on September 15th as one of the most challenging ultra-distance races in North America. This year marks its fourth iteration across various regions within New York State beyond just New York City, including the Adirondack Park and Thousand Island Region, showcasing a diverse landscape from Niagara Falls through Lake Champlain.
Participants will gather at the Champlain Memorial Lighthouse for this grueling event that stretches 420 miles over thirteen days. Racers must maintain an average of 32 miles per day to finish within the allotted time frame. The race also offers shorter distances like a 100-mile route and even a more manageable but still formidable 50-mile option, each with its own unique challenges and support conditions.
The Fools Ultra: Revenge of Champy has become an annual tradition for endurance runners seeking unparalleled scenic beauty and extreme physical challenge in the northeastern United States. The race celebrates the spirit of exploration and perseverance that defines New York’s lesser-known regions beyond the urban centers. Each year, it attracts a dedicated community of athletes who push their limits against nature's backdrop.
The course winds through historic sites such as Lake Placid and Tupper Lake while offering breathtaking views along Lake Champlain. The route is firm but slightly soft underfoot due to its trail conditions, suitable for both supported and self-supported runners. Participants face moderate UV exposure throughout the race period.
Racers can choose from several distance options depending on their endurance capabilities: a 50-mile Afraid (Supported) at $50 or Un-Afraid (Self-Supported) at $100; a 100-mile Afraid route for $125 or Un-Afraid version costing $250, extending to the full 420 miles with corresponding fees of $350 and $700 respectively. The race offers both crewed ("Afraid") support options where racers can receive assistance from their crews along the way as well as self-supported routes for those who wish to go it alone.
Registration is available online at https://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=133306 with entry fees varying by distance. Bib pickup takes place on September 14th in Port Henry, New York, where runners will receive their race packets and any additional materials needed for the event. Race day starts promptly at Champlain Memorial Lighthouse; all participants must adhere to age requirements set forth by the organizers.
The Fools Ultra: Revenge of Champy culminates on September 27th in Crown Point, New York after eleven days of rigorous competition across some of America's most picturesque terrain outside metropolitan areas. This race is a testament to human endurance and determination against natural landscapes that are both challenging and rewarding for those brave enough to undertake the journey.
