The Course

Lucifer’s Crossing takes in some of the finest scenery and flowing trails in our region. Each distance starts with a roughly 1.5 - 2 mile rolling ascent of the wooded Rim Trail. At the top of a historic and steep stone staircase 5k runners will take a left to return on the singletrack Finger Lakes Trail. 10k and Half Marathon Runners will drop down through the Lucifer Falls gorge, a majestic amphitheater. A left will take you up a steep ascent of the Red Pine Trail, looping back around for a passing of the historic Old Mill, and leaving you with a couple mile mostly descent along the flowing and fast Finger Lakes Trail Singletrack. Half Marathoner’s will do two loops of the 10k course.
