The Summit 200
The Summit 200 is a non-repetitive 200 mile loop around Summit County, Colorado, scheduled for July 26, 2027. The route uses hiking trails, 4WD roads and recreational paths, with the majority on single track and infrequently traveled forest roads.
The course stays at high elevation, with the lowest points above 9,000 feet and sections surpassing 12,700 feet. Over the full route runners gain and lose about 40,000 feet of elevation. The event is run as a multi-day mountain race with a 109 hour cutoff (equivalent to 33:22 per mile) and requires a previous 100 mile finish for entry.
Event logistics include 12 full aid stations, 4 sleep stations, drop bags, and live GPS tracking; each participant is provided a Garmin Messenger. Most aid stations offer made to order hot food with vegan options. The field is capped at 75 runners for the current event, with a possible increase to 100 if capacity allows. Professional race photography and event merchandise are provided, and finishers receive specific finisher items.
