Join Beast of Burden 50 Miles (Summer)

Whether you are looking to complete your first ultra distance event, or are a veteran of the sport, the Summer Beast of Burden is a true test of your endurance! The Summer Beast offers a flat and fast run along the Erie Canal Tow Path.

However, there is one little twist - you have to beat the bridge!

The Erie Canal attracts thousands of tourists to Lockport, New York every summer for its historic canal boat cruises, which pass under operational lift bridges along the way. You'll be crossing two of these historic bridges on each out-and-back loop. When a boat approaches an upcoming lift bridge, you have two choices: sprint ahead to beat the boat before the bridge is raised, or just relax and soak in the view while the boat passes on its merry way.

You simply will not find a more runner-friendly course anywhere on the planet. You'll find a lush green, tree-lined path along the waters of the historic Erie Canal.

So, do you think you've got what it takes? Guess you have to run and see!

Course highlights

Runners will start at Wide Water’s Marina and run along a paved trail for approximately 1 mile before crossing the canal on one of Lockport's historic draw bridges and then run along the historic Erie Canal Towpath.

Athletes will run approximately 11.5 miles to the Village of Middleport before returning to the start area. This out and back course will be twice to complete the 50 miles.
