Summit North Trail Runs

About the Event

Welcome to the Summit North. This is the best of trail running in the Midwest, where rugged terrain meets vibrant community. Held on the iconic trails of West Duluth, we're creating an unforgettable running experience on iconic trails with rad people.

With thoughtfully crafted courses, you’ll navigate rugged climbs and winding forest singletrack, including the legendary plunge through Ely’s Tunnel (in the Forest Track). Choose from four race distances: The Creeks ~8 Mile, Forest Track Heavy Half and Mountain Lap 5K. Start the weekend off with a test in the Hill Climb-Descent on Friday Night. Each race designed to challenge and inspire.

We can’t wait to share the trails with you this August!
