Summit North Trail Runs
The Summit North Trail Runs occur at Spirit Mountain in Duluth, Minnesota. This multi-day event utilizes the trails of West Duluth, featuring a variety of terrain including rugged climbs, winding forest singletrack, and a passage through Ely's Tunnel.
Participants can choose from several distinct events:
- Forest Track Heavy Half Marathon
- The Creeks 8-Mile
- Mountain Lap 5K
- Hill Climb & Descent
- Kids Trail Run
The weekend begins with the Hill Climb & Descent on Friday night. On Saturday, the longer distance races take place. The Forest Track Heavy Half Marathon covers more than the traditional half marathon distance and includes a route through the historical Ely's Tunnel. The Creeks 8-Mile and the Mountain Lap 5K offer shorter alternatives through the same regional trail systems. All events are centered around the Grand Avenue Chalet at Spirit Mountain.
The courses are designed to navigate the local elevation and forest paths. The event serves as a gathering for the regional trailing community, highlighting the natural landscape of the Midwest. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
