Santas Summit Slam

Embark on an unforgettable winter adventure at the inaugural Santa's Summit Slam, a spirited 10K race winding through the picturesque grounds of YMCA of the Rockies. This scenic course combines both trail and paved paths, with nearly 1,500 feet of elevation gain that challenges runners to push their limits while enjoying the festive spirit.
Participants are encouraged to embrace the holiday cheer by donning Santa or elf costumes for a unique twist on traditional race attire. Whether you're geared up in dry trail shoes, ready to tackle wet and muddy singletrack with traction spikes, prepared to traverse snow-covered trails with snowshoes, or even carrying your gear over rough terrain – this event is designed to accommodate all conditions and paces.
The starting line will be situated at the Lower Cookout Pavilion at YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park, Colorado. With ample parking available across multiple paved lots, runners can easily access the race venue without worrying about transportation logistics. Race registration includes a day pass to the YMCA, allowing participants to enjoy additional amenities and facilities beyond the event itself.
As you cross the finish line, warm up with a complimentary post-race breakfast that awaits all competitors. Each runner will receive a specially designed Santa's Summit Slam ornament and a light-up necklace to commemorate their achievement in this one-of-a-kind race experience.
