Entries were up 60 percent over 2006. Forty percent of the entries were coming from outside of New York State to enjoy fifty miles on lightly-traveled roads around a beautiful Finger Lake, peak fall foliage and the challenge of Bopple Hill. Three former winners were returning to face a quality field. Then there was the weather… normal would have been a low of 45 and high of 63 degrees. After
brief remarks reminding the runners to be cautious in the heat, the race
started promptly at 7:00 a.m. under clear skies, a low of 63 degrees (and a
forecast near record high of 84 degrees). Dan Dominie, our 2005 winner, and
local trail specialist Egils Robs began opening a lead over the field.
Dominie reached the Onanda Park aid station having covered 10 mostly flat
miles in less than 70 minutes with Robs in close pursuit. By this point, the
field had sorted out with the likely contenders grouped six minutes back:
Josh Irvan (6:57 at JFK last year), Andy McDowell (Tussey MountainBack 2005
winner), Ed Housel (current Masters division leader in Western New York
Ultra Series), Joe Jaffee (our 2006 first place man), Ryan O’Dell (our 2006
second place man) and Josh Reynolds running his first ultramarathon.
