Ontario Summit Trail Races

The Ontario Summit Trail Races take place on Saturday, September 12, 2026 at Ontario County Park at Gannett Hill in Naples, New York. The event headquarters is at Wilson Lodge within the park. For the 2026 edition, the race course will see significant changes, moving away from a strict half marathon distance to focus on creating a logical short course and long course.

Participants can choose between two courses: a long course and a short course. There is an early start option for the long course. The event offers Friday night activities, including the option for tent or vehicle camping near the lodges and casual social events. Post-race activities include hand-made burritos, beer from a local brewery, other beverages, fruit, snacks, and athlete support from a physical therapy provider.

Registered participants receive a long-sleeve shirt and a pint glass. Awards are given to the overall female and male winners of both the long and short courses, as well as to a random selection of participants. The event has relaxed policies, allowing distance switching, deferrals to the next year's event, and refunds with no associated fees. Volunteers receive breakfast, a post-race meal, and a race shirt.
