ABOUT

Borrowing from the fable, Tortoise & Hare is a race for the slow and the fast—victory lies in finishing. Our closest trail race to Ithaca, this is a good introduction to both trail running and local trails, while Buttermilk Falls provides a spectacular backdrop. The 10K+ (6.7-mile) course covers beautiful, varied terrain, including the easy Larch Meadow Trail, the semi-technical Bear Trail, and the rolling Treman Lake Trail. There is one long, steep hill that climbs about 450 feet in under a mile, lending another interpretation to the race name—up slow, down fast.

This race is dedicated to the memory of its founder, Rich Lawrence, who died in a canoeing accident in 1998. Special thanks to Rich’s close friend Cynthia Lange for her continued support and help at this race.

For those participating in the FLRC Challenge, its Tortoise & Hare course is a subset of the full in-person race course. As such, you can submit your time for the FLRC Challenge portion of the course as an effort—perhaps a particularly fast one!—in the Challenge.

Tortoise & Hare is part of the FLRC Trail Circuit, and results are included in the annual Pebblehead/Stonehead/Boulderhead rankings.

Many FLRC trail races take place on parts of the Finger Lakes Trail, which crosses much of New York State and is maintained by the nonprofit Finger Lakes Trail Conference. If you enjoy running on our local trails, consider supporting the Finger Lakes Trail Conference’s efforts to develop and maintain the Finger Lakes Trail. Support Finger Lakes Trails

WHERE

The race is held at Buttermilk Falls State Park: 106 E Buttermilk Falls Road, Ithaca, NY 14850. The start is at the lower park’s ballfield, on the side of Sandbank Road opposite the playground.

Parking is available, but be prepared to pay the $9.00 vehicle entrance fee or present an Empire Pass. This is important—park personnel will ticket cars parked illegally! It’s possible to park for free less than half a mile away, at the little mall on Route 13 east of the park.

This race is run entirely within Buttermilk Falls State Park. FLRC recognizes that this park is on traditional lands of the Indigenous Cayuga Nation, part of the larger Haudenosaunee Confederacy, and the Susquehannock people. We honor with gratitude the land itself and the people who have stewarded it throughout the generations, long before New York State existed. As you run our race, please respect the land and acknowledge this history and the Indigenous people’s relationship to it.

WHEN

The race starts at 9:00 AM. Please arrive at least 30 minutes early to pick up your bib.
