TUG HILL EXTREME ADVENTURE

Race Description:

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. 

The 24 Hour race will feature a fun race course with lots of on and off-trail navigation, and fewer beaver marshes than previous editions! 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. 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!
