Ontario Summit Trail Races

Ontario Summit Trail Races - September 12, 2026

The Ontario Summit Trail Races take place at Ontario County Park at Gannett Hill in Naples, NY on September 12, 2026. Race headquarters is at Wilson Lodge. Parking next to Wilson Lodge is reserved for staff and volunteers; event parking is arranged in nearby pavilions accessed via the park loop. Participants are asked not to park on the race course, on the main park road, or in small lots reserved for other park visitors. The main park road operates as a one-way, counter-clockwise loop.

The event will feature both a short course and a long course, with organizers noting course changes for 2026 and an emphasis on sensible course design rather than exact distances. The official listing includes the following distances:

• 1/2 Marathon
• 5 mile

Weekend amenities include on-site tent and vehicle camping near the lodges and options for campsites or cabins through Ontario County Parks. There will be casual Friday night social events and breakfast items available on Saturday morning. Post-race offerings include hand-made burritos, beer and other beverages, fruit and snacks, and on-site physical therapy support at the finish.

Giveaways include a long sleeve event shirt and a pint glass with the event logo; a size-guarantee deadline of August 22 is noted. Volunteers receive meals and a race shirt, and key volunteer roles are eligible for event-related prizes. Event policies state a single price with no increases and no fees for transfers, distance switching, deferrals, or refunds; refunds and deferrals have specified deadlines. The Race Director may disqualify participants for unsporty actions, including abusive behavior, littering or tampering with course markings, receiving aid outside designated areas, pacing from non-participants, and course-cutting.
