Carson Albanese's attempt does not appear to go all the way to the turnaround point at Chickadee Hollow Road. The turnaround appears to be almost half a mile early.

Also, the trail has been re-routed somewhat, as Brian Bellucci's track shows. The gpx for this route should be updated. I ran this route today (much slower) and was careful to follow the current trail markings, and it looks like this: https://caltopo.com/m/0A2F

Yes you are correct, I just noticed this myself. Trail ends at junction at Chickadee Hollow Road. Either way great work! Look forward to going back soon!

This is just a section of the Onondaga Trail, right? 

This is the Onondaga Trail. It’s just a section of the Finger Lakes Trail.

Just went out today and set a decent time! 2:35:40. Unsupported (I think I may have put in self supported by accident). We will see when it gets confirmed. Tough little route! Excited to see the time go down more and more!Â
