Ontario Summit Trail Races
Ontario Summit Trail Races on September 12, 2026 is organized by FarFetched Enterprises at Ontario County Park at Gannett Hill with Race HQ at Wilson Lodge. The event features trail running on a tentative new course and on-site camping options.
Distances
- Half Marathon
- 5 Mile
Packet pickup and same-day registration are offered at race headquarters. The course is being revised to remove recurring problem areas, test running down switchbacks, incorporate a Finger Lakes Trail re-route, and adjust the road portion so runners do not have to cross the road twice.
Parking is arranged in reserved pavilions reached via a one-way counter-clockwise loop; the lot beside Wilson Lodge is reserved for staff and volunteers. Participants are asked not to park on the race course, the main park road, or the small lots by the jump off.
Friday activities include tent and vehicle camping near the lodges, use of nearby campsites or cabins by separate arrangement with the county, and evening social events. Saturday morning provisions include fruit, oatmeal, coffee, tea, and baked goods. Post-race offerings at Watkins Lodge list hand-made burritos, beer and other beverages, fruit and snacks, and on-site physical therapy support.
Giveaways include a long sleeve shirt and a pint glass. Awards cover overall finishers in long and short courses and a random selection of participants. Volunteers receive meals and a race shirt; key positions receive event entries or tickets. Registration fee is $45 plus UltraSignup fees. Distance switching, deferrals, and refunds follow the published event policy. The Race Director may disqualify participants for abusive behavior, littering, receiving aid outside designated areas, pacing from non-participants, or course cutting.
