Ontario Summit Trail Races

Ontario Summit Trail Races

Ontario Summit Trail Races take place on September 12, 2026 at Ontario County Park at Gannett Hill in Naples, NY and are organized by Farfetched Enterprises. Race headquarters is at Wilson Lodge.

Distances

• Half marathon
• 6 Mile

The course is mostly rolling, tree-covered single-track around the summit of Gannett Hill. Runners will use nearly every trail within Ontario County Park, several miles of the Finger Lakes Trail, and portions on private property. Expect rocks, roots, wooden bridges, and scenic views.

There are three fully staffed aid stations located around miles 3, 6, and 9 offering water, Skratch Labs Hydration, GU gels, candy, watermelon, and salty snacks. Long course runners are encouraged to use personal hydration packs and to bring a drinking vessel; cups will be limited. Personal drop bag transport requests will be considered.

The short course follows the long course at the start but turns at Aid Station 1, remaining within Ontario County Park with relatively little elevation change.

Parking and access use a one-way counter-clockwise loop near the lodges. The parking lot beside Wilson Lodge is reserved for staff and volunteers, while pavilions and the baseball field are reserved for event parking. Participants should not park on the race course, the main park road, or in small lots reserved for other visitors.

Friday options include tent or vehicle camping near the lodges and casual evening social events. Saturday breakfast foods will be available including fruit, oatmeal, coffee, tea, and baked goods from Plenty the Bakery. Post-race offerings include hand-made burritos from R's Market, beer from Peacemaker Brewing, and a variety of snacks.

Giveaways include a long sleeve cotton/poly blend race shirt and a branded pint glass. Awards will be given to overall female and male finishers for both long and short courses, plus a random selection of participants; awardees will be contacted after the race and offered a selection of gift cards and race entries.

Volunteers receive breakfast, a post-race meal, and a race shirt. Three key volunteer roles also receive a choice of race entries or event tickets. Non-profit groups of five or more may receive a portion of race revenue.

Event policies state a single price with no increases and no fees for participant transfers, distance switching, deferrals, or refunds. Distance switching is allowed up to race-day check-in with no fee. Deferrals are allowed through September 11, 2026. Refunds are available through September 4, 2026 and include 100 percent of the registration fee but do not include UltraSignup fees. The Race Director may disqualify participants for abusive behavior, trail damage or littering, receiving aid outside designated areas, pacing by non-participants, or course-cutting, especially across switchbacks; running short may affect award eligibility.
