Summit for Life
In this exciting event, participants race from the base of Aspen Mountain all the way to the top! Racers will climb 3,267 vertical feet over the course of 2.5 miles—at night! All participants will receive a racer bag, and top racers and fundraisers will be awarded for their efforts with amazing prizes! The post-race party will take place at the Sundeck Restaurant, with dinner provided by The Little Nell, live music, and awards presented for top fundraisers and racers with the fastest time. Registration for the Summit for Life ends on December 5th at 4 PM MST.
Please note that all racers who have not reached the fundraising minimum by 5 pm on November 30th will be charged the remaining amount, and anyone who signs up from December 1st on will be required to pay the registration and minimum fundraising. If you wish to go above and beyond the minimum fundraising requirement, donations will be accepted through the end of the year.
