The Hill to Hollow 100km, set for September 19, 2026, in Tully, NY, offers an unforgettable journey through the heart of Central New York's stunning trail system. This challenging 100K ultra, also featuring a relay option, is known for its "nearly-all-single-track" course that winds through four counties. Runners will experience East Coast trail running at its finest, traversing the Onondaga Trail, North Country Trail, Link Trail, and Finger Lakes Trail. The route showcases misty ponds, breathtaking vistas, and picturesque waterfalls, including a pass by the highest point in Onondaga County within Morgan Hill State Forest where the race begins and ends (camping is available at the start/finish in Morgan Hill State Forest). Expect a demanding course with ample rocks and roots, promising memories that will last long after the finish line.
Participants should come prepared for a truly immersive trail experience, as the course demands self-sufficiency and strong navigation skills, particularly given areas without 5G/LTE network coverage. Aid stations, though accessible (some with potential low ground clearance road conditions for crew), are well-stocked with essentials like water, Skratch, fruit, and snacks such as PB&Js, potato chips, pretzels, Oreos, and candy. Limited hot food options like ramen and grilled cheese will be available at Aid Station 7. Pacers are permitted for 100km solo runners after approximately mile 50.0.
Typical race day conditions in mid-September feature pleasant highs around 73F and lows around 52F, with a modest 13% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for tackling this "Trail Sisters approved" and UTMB Index race. The Hill to Hollow 100km, which runs concurrently with the Morgan Hill Trail Races, promises a truly rewarding and rugged adventure for those seeking a genuine ultra-trail challenge, complete with coveted SCTR socks for all finishers.
