Summit 700

Summit 700 is an epic trail/mountain running experience. Flowing through Blue Mountain Resort’s challenging single-track trail network each course will tackle a timed 700ft ascent of the Niagara Escarpment in addition to endless; rock hopping, creek crossing, root dodging, up & down sublime forest running!

In order to host the event in July 2021 we anticipate many Covid-19 protocols will need to be in place as the vaccine roll-out continues. Our goal is to host a safe and fun event while adhering to all public health guidelines concerning outdoor gatherings and following Athletics Ontario's Road & Trail Risk Assessment and Safety Recommendations. If the event can't be hosted as detailed below due to worsening developments with Covid-19 we'll offer a "self-guided" event that can be run any time during the month of July. If conditions improve faster than expected with the vaccine roll-out and loosening Covid 19 restrictions, we'll adjust the protocols and offer a proper mass-start event.
