The NSF Hill Climb is set to challenge runners once again on its return in 2026. This annual race takes participants through the heart of a scenic mountain range, offering breathtaking views and an exhilarating climb up steep terrain. Runners will start at the base of Mount Summit, where they'll be greeted by crisp autumn air and vibrant foliage. The course begins with a gradual ascent that quickly turns into a series of sharp inclines as competitors make their way through dense forest trails. Along the route, runners can expect to encounter several switchbacks that twist and turn around rocky outcroppings. As participants push themselves higher up the mountain, they'll be rewarded with panoramic vistas stretching for miles in every direction. The air becomes thinner at these altitudes, making each step more challenging but no less rewarding as athletes continue their ascent towards the summit. The NSF Hill Climb is not just a race; it's an opportunity to immerse oneself in nature while testing personal limits against one of the most demanding courses around. With its mix of technical trail running and relentless elevation gain, this event attracts runners from all over who are eager to take on the challenge of conquering Mount Summit. On October 17, 2026, join fellow competitors for a day filled with stunning scenery, personal achievement, and camaraderie as you tackle one of the most iconic climbs in the region.

London is the capital and largest city of England and the United Kingdom, with a population of 9.14 million people in 2025. Its wider metropolitan area is the largest in Western Europe, with a population of 15.4 million. London stands on the River Thames in southeast England, at the head of a 50-mile (80 km) tidal estuary down to the North Sea, and has been a major settlement for nearly 2,000 years. Its ancient core and financial centre, the City of London, was founded by the Romans as Londinium and has retained its medieval boundaries. The City of Westminster, to the west of the City of London, has been the site of the national government and parliament for centuries. London grew rapidly in the 19th century, becoming the world's largest city at the time. Since the 19th century the name "London" has referred to the metropolis around the City of London, historically split among the counties of Middlesex, Essex, Surrey, Kent and Hertfordshire. Since 1965 it has largely comprised the administrative area of Greater London, governed by 33 local authorities and the Greater London Authority.
