Summit County, Colorado is the next stop on the Adventure Xstream Race Series circuit. On July 25th, Summit County, a world-class recreation venue, will be welcoming nearly 300 adventure racers, ranging from coed elite teams to first-time challengers and weekend warriors competing in either the Sprint, 12 hour or 24 hour race courses. In addition the 24-hour race will feature LIVE GPS Tracking.

Competitors at the Summit Adventure Xstream Adventure Race will test their skills in orienteering, trekking, trail running, mountain biking, and inline skating across the Rockies. Additionally, team dynamics and mental strength will be challenged by navigating across the 20, 60 or 100-mile courses. A free AR 101 clinic will be offered on Friday evening in conjunction with Boulder Performance Network.

Nestled into the heart of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, Summit County is home to some of the world’s finest skiing and alpine recreation. With four ski areas and trail networks, Dillon Reservoir, and thousands of acres of national forest scattered across its expanse, Summit County is one of Colorado's best places to ski, mountain bike, hike and boat. Along with its natural beauty, this venue boasts one of the nation's highest altitude courses. Racers will be clearing elevations of 12,300 feet during the event.

"We are excited to be coming back to Summit County again this year," said Race Director, Will Newcomer. "It is a beautiful venue in the mountains and its close proximity to Denver makes it an easy venue for racers to get to."

The race will be a points qualifier for the Checkpoint Tracker Adventure Racing Series presented by Inov-8 and will feature online coverage at CheckpointTracker.com including SPOT-based GPS tracking. Race fans will be able to view the race unfolding from home and post "shout outs" to their favorite teams.
