The Summit 200

The Summit 200

The Summit 200 is a 200 mile single loop held in Summit County, Colorado, based in Frisco. The route uses hiking trails, recreation paths, forest roads, and short sections of pavement. Much of the course is single track or infrequently used forest roads.

The course stays entirely above 9,000 feet with sections approaching 12,800 to 13,000 feet. Runners face roughly 40,000 feet of cumulative climbing and some long stretches without aid. The event includes 10 full aid stations, 4 sleep stations, and provision for drop bags. Most aid stations offer made to order hot food and vegan options.

The field is limited to 75 runners and the event is strictly a single 200 mile distance. Entry requires a prior 100 mile finish. The race uses live GPS tracking and provides a Garmin Messenger for participants. Professional race photography is provided. Finishers receive a year specific buckle design and a Summit 200 finishers jacket; all entrants receive event swag such as a Boco bag, a tri blend shirt, and a coffee mug.

There are no refunds. A deferral credit system applies with 100 percent credit 90 days prior, 75 percent at 60 days, 50 percent at 30 days, and 25 percent at 15 days. Deferral credit does not expire for three years and specific pregnancy deferral terms are available. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
