About The Event

One Mountain.
Every Level Of Rider.

The Summit Century is a mass-participation road event built around the three high passes above Ridgeline Valley. Elite riders race the full 100-mile loop against the clock while amateurs pick a shorter distance and ride the same closed roads, the same summits and the same finish chute.

Every entry includes a timing chip, a numbered bib, aid stations at kilometre 30, 62, 98 and 140, mechanical support, a finisher medal and access to the post-race recovery village with hot food, massage and live results screens.

Chip-Timed Racing

UCI-style waves, live splits on every summit and category podiums for men, women and masters.

Community Waves

Relaxed rolling starts, no cut-off pressure and ride marshals pacing every group to the finish.

Fully Supported

Rolling road closures, four aid stations, neutral mechanical service and sweep vehicles all day.
