Summit Survivor Backyard Ultra at Kissing Bridge
The Summit Survivor Backyard Ultra at Kissing Bridge in Glenwood, New York, takes place on October 3, 2026. The event uses a hilly trail looped course of 3 miles that each runner completes every hour on the hour.
Runners may take as much time as they need to finish each loop, but they must be ready to start the next loop when the race clock begins the new hour. This creates short intervals between loops for rest, fueling, equipment adjustments, or basic recovery. For example, a 50 minute loop leaves a 10 minute break before the next hourly start.
The hourly format continues for 11 hours. Runners who are still running after the 11th hour compete in the 12th hour to determine the Summit Survivor winning title. The structure emphasizes repeated hourly efforts on the same trail loop rather than a single continuous distance.
Logistics noted for the event include the location at Kissing Bridge, 10296 State Rd, Glenwood, NY 14069. Registration opens June 30, 2026 and closes September 18, 2026, with a registration fee of $125. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
