Tug Hill Outfitters is hosting the 5th annual Tug Hill Extreme Adventure on Saturday, May 30 - Sunday, May 31, 2026 in Boonville, NY, on the Tug Hill Plateau. The race start and finish will be at
Hidden Meadows Campground.
There will be two race options this year, a 24-hour and an 8-hour race:
24 Hour Adventure Race
This will be a fun race course with lots of on and off-trail navigation, and fewer beaver marshes than previous editions!
The 24 hour race is a United States Adventure Racing Association (USARA) Regional Qualifier and sanctioned points race, as well an Adventure Racing World Series, North America (ARWS-NA) points race. Prior to the race, each team will receive one set of topographic maps with pre-plotted checkpoints that you will use to navigate the course with map and compass only, while trekking/running, mountain biking, & paddling. The team that finds the most checkpoints within the 24 hour time limit wins. If teams fail to make it back before the time cut-off, they will lose 1 checkpoint for every minute they're late. Teams sizes can range from of 2-4 people. Any solo racers in the 24-hour event must have significant racing experience and will need to contact the race directors for prior approval before registering.
This year, race headquarters will be located at Hidden Meadows Campground in Boonville, NY. The majority of checkpoints will be optional so teams can tackle as much or as little of the course as they see fit, making this a great race for both new and experienced racers. Approximate distances for each section of the course are still being finalized. The total minimum distance will be achievable by all teams and the maximum distance to punch all optional checkpoints will push the top teams to race for the full 24 hours. Expect some seriously beautiful and remote locations, and epic off trail treks!
Mountain bikes are highly recommended as you will be traveling over some rough terrain and racers will be required to carry mandatory individual and team gear during the race (to be announced). There will be at least one opportunity to drop and access a gear bin during the race.
This race will have something for everyone, from teams looking to try their first longer distance, overnight adventure race; to teams hoping for more intense navigation challenges.
Boat Details:
During registration, you'll need to choose from two options: Tug Hill Extreme Adventure 24 Hour - Bring your Own Boat OR Tug Hill Extreme Adventure 24 Hour -Race Provided Boat. In order to source enough boats in our rural region, and to accommodate up to 150 participants, we are relying on some racers to bring their own boats, in addition to using the Tug Hill Outfitters rental fleet, and also working with regional outfitters to source boats from the area.
Teams that bring their own boats will be required to drop boats off at the race start the night before the race (Friday 5/30). On race day, we will transport boats out to the paddle section and back to the start/finish. We will have volunteers at the site at all times to make sure your boats are safe. Due to race logistics, we have limitations on the number of boats we can move, and will thus there will be a cap on the number of “bring you own boat teams” allowed to register for the race. If you really want to use your own canoe/kayak please register as soon as possible. If you bring your own boat, any canoe/kayak will be allowed. If you choose to have the race directors provide a boat, it will likely be a 2 to 4 person canoe, or a tandem kayak.
What's included:
24 hours of awesome adventure racing
USARA Regional Qualifier (the top 3-4 person mixed team will be given guaranteed entry to USARA Nationals and an $800 credit towards entry)
Performance T-shirt
Live tracking system
1 set of race maps per team (option to purchase a second set)
Race passports (for punching checkpoints)
Post race food and drinks
Prizes for top finishers in each division
8 Hour Adventure Race
This shorter adventure race will have something for everyone, and will be designed with beginner racers in mind, but will also have more challenging off-trail navigation for experienced racers. Additional details will be released soon. At this time we're unsure of whether the 8-hour race will include a short paddle. The race will definitely include biking and trekking.
USARA membership:
This is a USARA-sanctioned event. Racers must either have an annual USARA membership or purchase a single-event license through RunSignUp.

On April 24, 2021, William "Bill" Scott Jr., passed away suddenly. At the time of passing, Bill was the President of the Syracuse Teachers Association (STA) representing approximately 3,000 Syracuse
City School District staff and 20,000 students. Prior to his presidency, Bill spent 10 years as a school social worker and 5 years as the 4th Vice President of STA. Throughout all the stages of his career, Bill worked tirelessly to advocate for his colleagues, students, and their families and he was a fierce advocate for all! In 2022, we hosted our inaugural Bill Scott Memorial 5K Walk/Run at Burnet Park, a place where Bill frequented for his own running. Through this race, monies have been raised to be put towards a scholarship for a Syracuse City School District senior who planned to major in Social Work or the Human Service Profession.
We will continue honoring Bill's memory and legacy by hosting our 5th annual race on Sunday, May 31, 2026 at 9 AM. This year our race will be held in a new, flatter location - Onondaga Lake Parkway. The money raised from this event will continue to go towards a scholarship for a senior pursing a degree in Psychology or Human Services. In addition to the Syracuse City School District, this years scholarship will be open to seniors from Jamesville-Dewitt, Hannibal, and Whitesboro, all districts that played important roles in the lives of Bill and his children.
Prizes will be awarded to the top three overall female and male finishers.
Packet pickup: TBD
