Red Newt Racing
Challenging Races in Inspirational Places
Red Newt Racing provides challenging events in inspiring places, and mediums for celebrating, fostering, and fueling the community that seeks them. We're honored to be a part of your excitement, inspiration, and schedule for the upcoming season and beyond.
In addition to bringing you awesome experiences that hopefully are highlights of your seasons, together, since 2010, we’ve raised and donated $206,000 back into Parks, Land Trusts, Fire Departments, Non-Profits, Clubs, and School Teams. We’re grateful to assist in fueling your stoke, and in collectively being able to make lasting contributions to the communities we share.
Seneca7
Geneva, NY
April 25, 2027
A race inspired by good fortune and a deep body of blue. The Seneca7 will introduce you to the wonders of Seneca Lake: rushing inlets, crashing waterfalls, banks bathed in golden sunlight. All you (and your team) have to do is run around it.
Breakneck Point
Beacon, NY
May 8, 2027
Breakneck Point provides more vert per mile and technical pitches than all but a handful of courses in the country. It offers beautiful Hudson River vistas, a great community, and all 45 only miles north of NYC.
Cayuga Trails
Ithaca, NY
June 5, 2027
Gorges lush with cascades, historic stone staircases, amphitheaters, creek crossings, single and double track. Cayuga has not only brought some of the fastest ultra runners in the country as a prior US Nationals, but also served as countless runners inaugural 50 mile or K achievements.
Lucifer’s Crossing
Ithaca, NY
June 6 2027
The first 3 miles will take you up 1,400 feet w/ countless stairs….the calf and lung burn tapered only by the beauty of the trail and waterfalls you'll pass. Save a bit in the tank though for the final flowing 3 miles of single-track…rolling as fast as your quad's breaking will allow you to move.
Gorges Half
Ithaca, NY
June 13, 2027
Presented By
The Gorges Half is one of the most scenic half marathons in the country. It offers a point to point course from the quintessential small town of Trumansburg (within the Town of Ulysses), passing gorges and cascades with a net descent elevation course profile en route to a homecoming in Ithaca.
Just as Odysseus reached home in Ithaca in Book 13, so shall you reach the finish in mythical Ithaca at 13.1. Hopefully in less time, without the wrath of Poseidon, the allure of Sirens. Stay tuned for incentives in ‘27 to manifest your vision of the Odyssey.
Whiteface Sky Races
Wilmington, NY
TBD, 2027
With more vertical gain and loss per mile than possibly any other race in the United States, Whiteface is burly. Your legs will be reduced to Jello, your lungs worked, but you'll have completed a pretty incredible feat. Sound fun? Yeah, we agree. Be sure to take a moment to stop, look up toward some of the best mountain runners in the world shuffling forward to the finish, back toward fellow entrants of all ages, shapes, and sizes moving toward the summit, and around at the brilliant Adirondack Peaks enveloping you. You don't get any of those sights often…soak it up.
