Summit Survivor Backyard Ultra at Kissing Bridge
Join us for this unique 12 hour endurance event!

Summit Survivor Backyard Ultra at Kissing Bridge
Runners leave every hour on the hour to run a 3 mile loop.
Runners left standing in the 12th hour will race for the winning title.
HOW IT WORKS:
- Athletes will line up at the top of the hour starting at 8:00 a.m.
- After a loop is completed, check-in with event staff.
- Laps 1 - 11 require manual check-in & lap tracking
- Lap 12 will be electronically timed with an ankle chip.
Summit Survivor is a self-supported race, where runners should rely on their own crew for fueling, hydration, and race assistance. There will be a crew aid station area where you can set up your own tent to easily access after each loop at the start/finish area. The race WILL provide a water station at the start/finish line along with a light snack - but again, you should be reliant on your own aid station for fuel and hydration during the race. This will be a cupless race, so runners will need to provide their own water bottle/flask/bladder to refill their water.
*For your safety and security, a headlamp is required once it gets dark. Please bring a headlamp and wear it while running after sunset. Runners will not be permitted to continue on the course after dark without a headlamp.
*Please note runners should bring their own tent for their aid stations.
Summit Survivor Awards & After-party will take place directly after the race!
DJ Justin York will be playing music on the hill from 4-8:00pm
Live Music by Barnstorm playing in Lake Effect from 8:30-11:30pm
