What a weekend...

See you in August 16-17, 2025!

Welcome to Summit North! An event that brings people together for a weekend of races on some of the Midwest's most beautiful trails.

Friday kicks off with the Hill Climb where runners will test their lungs and legs on Spirit Mountain. Saturday's four race distances are quintessential Duluth trail running that include rocky and rooty climbs, creek crossings, and a plunge through Ely's Tunnel in the Forest Track.

 

We have worked hard to bring this race to life. Runners of all levels will get a premium trail experience with fun and challenging courses, great views, and good vibes. Join us this August for what we hope will become classic summer races!

Everybody Wins!

At Summit North, it’s not just the fastest who win. We’re all about spreading the stoke, so everyone in the field has a shot at taking home some awesome gear. Finish strong, and you could be one of the lucky ones!

We give away top-notch gear— every race bib comes with a tag, and when you cross that finish line, you will be entered into a drawing for incredible prizes.
