2024 Stratton Summit Challenge

Join us on August 10th, 2024 for the 3rd annual Stratton Summit Challenge! The open race follows the work road from the base of the gondola to the top of Stratton Mountain, 1750 vertical feet. You can race your heart out against the best in the world OR take your time– everyone is welcome.  On top you will get spectacular views and a ride back down on the gondola.  There is also a kids race that goes about 1/3 of the way up and finishes at mid-mountain. If you are staying for the Q & A, bring food or grab some lunch at one of the awesome resort restaurants!

EVENT SCHEDULE:

9:20am- Kids Race (from Base to Mid-Mountain)
