The Adirondack Ultra Cup is a competition that will reward the top male and female cyclists that ride the most miles in Adirondack Ultra Cycling events. We'll combine the total mileage from all of our events and break ties by whoever completes the distance in the fastest time. For more information, click here.


The Adirondack Ultra Challenge is a fall/winter century series that provides an opportunity for riders to complete at least one century every month and to get in some good off season riding. For more information, click here.


The Saratoga Brevet Series is a spring "randonneur" series that consists of 200 KM, 300 KM, 400 KM and 600 KM brevets sanctioned By L'Audax Club Parisien (ACP). For more information on our brevets, click here. For more information on American randonneuring, click here.


The Saratoga 12/24 is held every July in Saratoga Springs, and uses a rolling 40-mile course in northeastern Saratoga County and along the Hudson River. It consists of several events, including: the Saratoga 24-Hour Challenge, the Hudson River Ramble 12-Hour Challenge, the Nighthawk 12 Nighttime 12-Hour Challenge, the Triple Lap 120-mile Challenge, the One Lap 40-Mile Fun Ride and the Midnight Madness 40-Mile Fun Ride. For more information, click here.


The Montreal Double Double is a unique event held every August, that combines ultra marathon racing and touring. The concept is to ride the 200 miles from Schuylerville up to Montreal, have a rest day in Montreal, then ride back to Schuylerville on the third day. It's a neat event, with full support and first class accommodations. For more information, click here.


The Adirondack 540 RAAM Qualifier is an entire weekend of ultra cycling fun that will test every level of rider. It's held on a beautiful and challenging 136-mile course that travels along Lake Champlain and through the High Peaks region of the Adirondack Park Preserve. Rolling hills, long climbs and breath taking descents are a staple of this course. We have events that cover one, two, three and four laps of this grueling course. For a complete schedule and more information, click here.


The Haunted Hundred is a scary overnight century that's usually held the weekend before Halloween and is part of the Adirondack Ultra Challenge. We start in Saratoga Springs and use a rolling loop through Saratoga, Warren and Washington Counties that takes us to frightening places like Bloody Pond, Spook Hallow Road and Prospect Hill Cemetery, and past haunted houses, burial grounds, cemeteries, murder sites, zombie lands, battlefields and war monuments. This ride was featured in the October, 2009 issue of Bicycling Magazine as the "Cool Ride of the Month." For all of the details, and more information, click here.


Our final event of the year will be the first ever Adirondack Ultra Gala. We plan to use the gala as our year-end awards banquet and a fund-raiser for our events and local charities. It will also be held in conjunction with the Last Century, so you can make an entire ultra day out of it! For more information, click here.
