Ontario Summit Trail Races

Ontario Summit Trail Races : Ontario County Park, Gannett Hill

The Ontario Summit Trail Races take place on Saturday, September 12, 2026, at Ontario County Park at Gannett Hill in Naples, NY. The organizer has revised the course plan for 2026 and will offer a long course and a short course rather than focusing strictly on measured distances; final course details are listed as TBD.

Race headquarters is at Wilson Lodge. A nearby parking loop and reserved pavilions will be used for event parking; the lot next to Wilson Lodge is reserved for staff and volunteers. The park road operates as a one-way counter-clockwise loop, and participants are asked not to park on the race course, on the main park road, or in small lots reserved for other park visitors.

Friday activities include options to tent or vehicle camp near the lodges, use of nearby campsites or cabins via separate park arrangements, and casual social events in the evening. Saturday morning breakfast is planned and will include fruit, oatmeal, coffee, tea, and baked goods from Plenty the Bakery. Post-race offerings include hand-made burritos, beer from Peacemaker Brewing, other beverages, fruit and snacks, and on-site athlete support from In Motion Physical Therapy FLX.

Giveaways include a long-sleeve race shirt and a pint glass bearing the event logo; shirt availability is tied to an earlier registration guarantee date. Awards will be given for overall female and male winners on each course and to a random selection of participants. Volunteers receive meals and a race shirt, and key volunteer positions receive event-related rewards.

Event policies state a single price with no increases and no fees for participant transfers, distance switching, deferrals, or refunds. Distance switching is allowed up to race-day check-in. Deferral and refund deadlines are specified by the organizer. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
