The Summit 200
The Summit 200 is a dream race for us. The route is extraordinary in both its beauty and difficulty. Runners will run one 200-mile loop around Summit County, Colorado utilizing numerous stunning hiking trails in the area. They will also run on rec paths, forest roads, and short sections of pavement. The majority of this route is single track trail and infrequently used forest roads. The beauty of this course is nothing short of breathtaking. And on the other hand, the route itself will take your breath away…as the LOWEST altitude is over 9,000 feet with sections surpassing the 12,800-foot mark. Over the course of the event, runners would gain (and lose) just short of 40,000 feet of elevation.
Refunds & Deferrals
DEFERRAL
Deferral Policy
I think you will find that our policy is very good when compared to other 200's (the best). You have until 3 months from the race to receive 100% deferral credit!
-100% credit 90 days prior
-75% credit 60 days prior
-50% credit 30 days prior
-25% credit 15 days prior
-YOUR CREDIT DOES NOT EXPIRE FOR 3 YEARS (rather than one), AND CAN BE USED FOR AS MANY ULTRAVERSE SUPPLEMENTS RACES AS YOU’D LIKE (rather than one).
-deferral credit cannot be gifted, no bib transfers
-all gear/swag ordered at time of registration will be added as race credit as well (not refunded)
-credit does not include taxes or ultrasignup fees
-pregnancy deferral – please notify us and you will receive 100% deferral credit all the way up to 30 days prior to the event. Within 30 days all deferral credits are the same as above. You will have 3 years (standard is 2 years) to use your credit.
-no refunds
As you can see, we have worked hard to provide you with the most lenient deferral policy amongst the major non-repetitive 200’s. The last thing we want is for you to invest a significant amount of money into our race, and then, from no fault of your own, lose that money. Please understand that the expenses for a race start LONG before the race happens, and this is a very expensive race to host. Under no circumstance will ANY exceptions be made to any of these dates, no matter the reason (besides pregnancy). This applies to injury, unforeseen scheduling conflicts, personal issues, military leave, or whatever else may come up.
Event Cancellation or Date Change
In the event of cancellation, runners would receive 100% race credit that can be used for ANY Ultraverse Supplements Race (including The Summit the following year). If the date is changed, you will be automatically moved to the new scheduled date. However, you will be given 72 Hours to notify us if you cannot attend. In which case, you would be given 100% credit to next year’s event or any Ultraverse Supplements event.
MILITARY DISCOUNT
We offer 10% off all of our races for veterans and active military. Reach out to us BEFORE you register for your discount code - this cannot be applied after registration.
