NYC Stair Set of Doom Ultra

The NYC Stair Set of Doom Ultra isn’t your average race—it’s a journey through the heart of New York City, where every mile tells a story and every staircase is a challenge. Covering 33 miles across city streets, parks, and dirt trails, this race gives you a raw, unfiltered experience of the city’s most iconic spots and hidden gems.

• 3,500+ feet of elevation that will push your legs to the limit
• 33 miles through neighborhoods most races never touch
• 90 stair sets (some massive, some sneaky) scattered throughout the course
• 16 parks where the city’s greenery meets your grit
• 6 bridges crossing boroughs and bringing you new challenges
• 4 boroughs to show you the full range of what NYC has to offer

This race is as real as it gets. While we’ll have a few aid stations along the way, the Stair Set of Doom is unsanctioned and largely self-supported, meaning you should rely on your own water, fuel and restroom usage (public restrooms will be marked along the route). It’s a grind, but for those who want to experience NYC in the most epic way possible, it’s the ultimate test.
