Summit700

Great to see lots of small groups out enjoying the courses! Thanks for sharing Sarah Potter

Thanks @caitfoisy for the heads-up about a few course arrows down this AM, we sent out our work crew to tidy them up!

Times are starting to roll in on the Summit 700 Leaderboards. @jaywest_running and @scorpionwoman pictured here hold the lead on the 5K course but judging from the Strava segment there are quite a few testing the route before running their race time

And we’ve had our first few runners through to grab their kits and tackle the courses this morning!

Courses were marked today, almost all set for racing to begin this Saturday @bluemtnresort

4 of these are headed for the 1st 100 race kits! Get to @bluemtnresort soon for a chance to win an amazing Salomon prize!

#Summit700 5k and 10k races return to #BlueMountainResort! For the month of August participants can run permanently marked courses on some of Blue's best trails! A live leaderboard will be maintained and great prizing from #Salomon will be mailed at the end of the month. All the details can be found on our Race Roster event page: https://raceroster.com//32964/summit-700-august-2020-self-

2020 Event Postponed to 2021. For details, please read the email that was recently sent to all registered participants at the link below. We're heartbroken with the decision, but confident we'll all come back stronger when it is safe to do so. https://www.summit700.com/so/e3N7maFnd

Covid-19 Update April 15, 2020 Greetings Trail Runners, I hope you’re all enduring the physical distancing measures we have in place and are still able to get outside in a safe way for a daily dose of exercise. While we’re all doing our part to slow the spread of Covid-19 it’s hard not to look forward to a time when things return to normal and we can get back to being with the people we love and partaking in activities that bring us joy!... As an event organizer these times are particularly challenging as we try to figure the safest way forward with limited clear direction from government officials on when events of this nature may be permitted again. At the moment we’re unsure if we’ll be able to host Summit 700 on July 11th, 2020. We’ll be making a final decision about hosting the event on May 7th and will communicate that decision by email, on Facebook and on this website. We apologize for not having a clear answer at this time, but please bear with us as we await better information and guidelines from the government. For the time being the early-bird entry fee deadline has been extended to May 14th, 2020. If the event is unable to proceed on July 11th, 2020 we’ll be looking at postponing the event to September 26th, 2020, or July 2021. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding. I hope everyone is staying safe, healthy and with loved ones during these trying times. Sincerely, Bob Miller Event Director Summit 700 Trail Runs

We're super-excited to announce/launch this new trail running event at Blue Mountain. Many of us who worked and volunteered at the North Face Endurance Challenge were ultra-bummed when we heard the event wouldn't be taking place this summer, so figured what the heck, let's keep the trail running tradition alive at Blue! We'll have 6K, 10K and 21K distances on all-new courses. Plus as the name suggests a 700ft climb within each race which will be separately timed to crown king and queen of the mountain! Check the website for all the nitty-gritty details: https://www.summit700.com/ and please help us spread the word by tagging and sharing with your friends!
