Sunday Mountain Runs
Welcome to the beta zone for Sage To Summit’s monthly summer mountain runs. We are advertising them as ‘runs,’ however, depending on the range of ability levels and the difficulty of the terrain being covered there will most likely be a lot of hiking involved as well. The goal of these outings is to provide an opportunity for local runners (and maybe some out-of-towners) to get to know each other while exploring some of the endless mountain terrain this area has to offer. Please take note that these are SELF-SUPPORTED runs. While we will do our best to keep everyone fairly close together throughout the day, ultimately you are responsible for yourself. These are free, loosely organized outings, not full-service guided mountain running trips. Check out the route description links we have posted on the website to determine if the planned run is within your ability/fitness levels and then make a decision accordingly. For some of these runs we will be out for 8+ hours. A small pack designed for running with the following items is recommended: stormy/cold weather gear, sunscreen, lighter, TP, calorie-dense foods (2-300 calories/hour is necessary to keep energy levels consistent throughout the day) and a camera to document the adventure! Water sources will vary greatly depending on where we are going and the time of year. Either carry enough for the day from the start (20-30 ounces/hour minimum) or bring a filter. Thanks to generous donations from some of our vendors such as Clif we will have some edible goodies to hand out before the runs.
If you have any questions or concerns beforehand don’t hesitate to contact us. Hopefully, you will be able to join us for a run or two this summer, RSVP at info@sagetosummit.com. See you on the trails!
