The Great Brant Lake Canoe Race 2026

A forest-to-summit trek up Gore Mountain’s wooded slopes and broad ridgelines. The route is almost entirely shaded and weaves creek-side paths, rooty woods, and ridge roads with Adirondack air and valley glimpses to reward every step. Push your pace. Carry your weight. Move with the pack.

Choose your distance: 7, 14, 21, or 28 miles, and complete in 10 hours to earn the coveted UltraTrax Grey Wolf Medal. Toss on a 10, 20, or 35-lb weighted vest or ruck and unlock bonus finisher swag + serious bragging rights. The course will be extremely well marked with a fun post-trek party for everyone to enjoy!
