The Peak-to-Peak Summer Showdown kicks off with a heart-pounding 10K at Winter Park Ski Resort as a part of their annual Double Up race on June 14th. Next, we are back at the Ski Resort with a magical Midsummers Nights 10K on June 26th. After that, we have a family fun 5K with the Rendezvous Run for Independence on July 4th with the Winter Park & Fraser Chamber. As an additional challenge for this year, we’re adding a marathon! Run 26.2 miles as part of the Crooked Marathon produced by Gemini Adventures on August 3. To close it out: The Byers Peak Stampede Half Marathon hosted by the Shining Stars Foundation on August 23rd. Those who complete the entire series will not only earn bragging rights but also be eligible for some epic prizes!
This race series is brought to you in partnership with Winter Park Ski Resort, the Winter Park & Fraser Chamber, and the Shining Stars Foundation. So mark your calendars, gather your crew, and let’s make history together with the second annual Peak to Peak Summer Showdown Race Series.
This series will be scored using a combination of FIS World Cup point scoring and a weighted race difficulty scale. Participants will run each race and based on how they finish, acquire points. This score will then be multiplied by a “race difficulty” factor. We will take your top 3 scores and combine them for your overall total race points. This is how we will determine a winner! There will be an Open Men and Open Women category, only. For a more detailed scoring outline, please click here.
