About the Event

In partnership with Elachee Nature Science Center. This event offers a 7 mile and 3 mile trail race through the trails of the Chicopee Woods Nature Preserve. You'll pass through rhododendron groves, across creeks, traverse a 140ft suspension bridge, and climb the rolling pine needle covered trails to the finish. This is truly a fast and fun classic trail race with something for everyone! In addition, bring your little ones for a kids trail race (chaperones allowed) on a short loop around the nature preserve.

3Hr Cutoff for the 7 mile race. Email us if you'd like an earlier start. info@summitrunco.com

The Elachee Nature Science Center promotes environmental understanding through education and conservation by getting children outside, by creating bridges between people and nature, and by caring for Chicopee Woods so that it is accessible to our community now and into the future.

*A parking pass is required to enter Chicopee Woods.* As part of your race registration, you will have the opportunity to purchase an Elachee membership at a significant discount, which includes an annual parking pass. In addition, new membership purchases will receive guaranteed priority parking near the start/finish line. Non-members will be required to use overflow parking and/or a shuttle service.

We know you'll love these trails and will want to keep coming back for more! Team Summit will host TWO group trail runs prior to the race for you to preview the race course.
