About
Lucifer's Crossing is held on May 30, 2027, near Ithaca, New York, on one of the well-known trail courses of the Finger Lakes region. Three distances are offered: the half marathon (13.1 mi), a 6.66-miler (10.7 km) and a 5K (3.1 mi). Start times and elevation gain are not listed in our records.
The Finger Lakes gorges make for short, steep climbs and descents rather than long gradients, which is harder on the legs than the total elevation suggests. Shorten your stride on the way up, stay off the brakes on the way down, and treat the 6.66-miler as the honest introduction — it is long enough to teach the terrain and short enough to enjoy.
