Frickin' Hot 50K

Welcome to the beautiful lakeside community of Cassadaga, NY.   Just off of I-90, one hour south of Buffalo, NY and 1 hour north of Erie, PA.  

A NO FRILLS ultra-running event for those of you that just LOVE to run!

The Lower Lake in Cassadaga hosts a perfectly distanced 5K loop and this event will have you run or walk one to ten loops, depending on what you feel that day. 

NO CUT OFF TIMES 

When we say NO FRILLS, we mean it!  No medals, no t-shirts.(Unless some amazing sponsor wants to step in and provide…hint, hint)

Results will be posted on CoachMarkWilson.com 

There will be a $10 entrance fee, ALL of which will be donated to the Chautauqua County Fire Police and the Cassadaga Food Pantry.

**UPDATE to the NO FRILLS ~ we’ve added some frills.  We just couldn’t help ourselves.
