Welcome to the Summit 200!
The Summit 200 is a dream race for us. The route is extraordinary in both its beauty and difficulty. Runners will run one 200-mile loop around Summit County, Colorado utilizing numerous stunning hiking trails in the area. They will also run on rec paths, forest roads, and short sections of pavement. The majority of this route is single track trail and infrequently used forest roads. The beauty of this course is nothing short of breathtaking. And on the other hand, the route itself will take your breath away…as the LOWEST altitude is over 9,000 feet with sections surpassing the 12,800-foot mark. Over the course of the event, runners would gain (and lose) just short of 40,000 feet of elevation.
The Summit 200 has always been a dream race for us. The route is extraordinary in both its beauty and difficulty. Runners traverse one 200-mile loop around Summit County, Colorado utilizing numerous hiking trails, 4WD roads, and rec paths in the area. The majority of the route is single track trail and infrequently traveled forest roads. The beauty of this course is nothing short of breathtaking. And on the other hand, the route itself will take your breath away…as the LOWEST altitude is over 9000 feet with sections surpassing the 12,700 ft mark. Over the course of the event, runners gain (and lose) around 40,000 ft of elevation.
The overall cutoff time will be 110 hours (33 minutes/mile).
If you want in on this epic adventure through the Rockies, save the date, and get in early. We are starting this year’s event with a cap of 75 runners. If that number is reached, we will evaluate and possibly bump that to 100.
We are working diligently and meticulously to make this a premier zero repetition 200-mile mountain race that can be likened to the biggest names (by the best RD’s in the business) like Cocodona, Bigfoot, Tahoe, and Moab.
The Summit 200 has all the bells and whistles – sleep stations, amazing aid stations with hot food, professional photography, killer swag, LIVE GPS tracking, and that personal touch that our runners love about our races.
The Summit 200 takes place on National Forest lands and Summit County Lands. If permitted it will be through the National Forest, and Summit County governing agencies.
