It's the Slopeside Slumber Party - the trail running party where everyone is invited! It'll be a big party at Roundtop Resort. The race is limited to 100 to make sure it's not too crowded up there, but there's plenty of room at the base of the slope to hang out.

For those who are familiar with Ski Roundtop:
We'll be over by the Lodge at the bottom of the Exhibition slope. Set up a spot for your stuff at the base of the tubing slope. We'll start at the Lodge, run behind the Lodge and across the parking lot about half a mile, go up Minuteman/Lower&Upper Lafayette about half a mile, across the top, then down Ramrod/Exhibition about half a mile so your whole crew can watch. The Lodge will be open with an awesome view from the patio - the slope down will be lit! For those not familiar with Ski Roundtop:
We'll have a Start/Finish next to a ski lodge. The Lodge has bathrooms and plenty of space for your whole crew inside or outside to come and watch. You'll have about half a mile of flat, half a mile up a ski slope, then half a mile down a ski slope. Your crew will have a great view of you running downhill to the finish with a lighted downhill.

Cheers to you!!!!

Gah, what a night. I hope you had so much fun!!! It's 4am, and I can't sleep. I'm still pumped!!!

So many thanks! Roundtop Mountain Resort is the absolute best host. We're thankful they let us keep coming back every year for this crazy little sport.

This race is brought to you by the York Road Runners Club as a part of the Ridge Runners Trail Series. Points will be added to the site soon for the series. We are an all-volunteer non-profit organization - and our volunteers are top notch!!!

Double Blaze Painting owner ran some laps and sponsored our band, Tate Lehman & The Blue Chilis . I don't know about you, but their music kept me moving!

We're thankful to Fleet Feet York for sponsoring our bibs and running some laps!

You'll have awesome photos soon from the dynamic duo Jenn & Kevin - https://www.kevinperaginephotography.com/. I'll be sending a follow-up email with a link to photos very soon - just give us a minute.

We're just double-checking results then we'll post those very soon - Black Cat Timing is just the best!!!

We loved having Train Recover Repeat with the compression boots! Our pogs were made by Custom POGS who keep us stocked with fresh pogs and new slammers every year. We use local when we can, and we're thrilled that our local company Insatiable Melanin supplied our most awesome swag for the fourth year! They even packed up all your slippers with some smell goods. Plus, Squirrel's Nut Butter came through with the l**e to keep your toes and other parts chafe-free! It's always been my go-to l**e. It's kinda weird to have a go-to l**e...., but it's better than chafing!!!

Biggest thanks to all of you for showing up and running around. That is one tough mountain!!! Thank you, thank you.

Now, share all your fun photos!!!!

Course is looking fresh!!!

The resort will have food and beverages for sale (card only) – please support them!

We'll have a pog crew to give you a pog for every loop you complete. Our top 3 will receive a slammer, plus I’ll give out some fun awards I get to make up through the night.

You can set up your own area at the bottom of the slope.

Light aid station with Gatorade, candy, and pretzels.

Our most awesome photographers Jen & Kevin will be wandering the mountain – I’ll post a link to photos as soon as they’re ready 📸

🏔 Racer Information

In case you were wondering, nah, you don't have to be running/hiking the entire 3 hours. You may finish one loop and hang out, or keep going. You can also take breaks in between loops.

Your last lap must be started by 10:45 PM.

I recommend trail shoes for the descents (though we did have a runner in worn-out Sketchers once…).

The slope will be lit, but a headlamp/waist light is still recommended for the first half mile in the parking lot.

Poles are not required, but they're handy (hehe, get it?).

It’ll be hot – fuel and hydrate appropriately.

Don’t forget to thank our awesome volunteers!

Big news for tired legs and trail-weary quads: Train, Recover, Repeat is coming to Slopeside!

That’s right—between climbing up the mountain and bombing back down, you can kick back in some glorious compression boots and pretend you’re at a spa (a spa with cowbells and dirt).

Come run hard, then recover harder. Your calves will thank you, even if your glutes don’t.

We’ve got a whole crew of amazing folks helping make Slopeside happen, but this shoutout goes to one of the biggest and best — Roundtop Mountain Resort! 🎉⛰️

They’ve been absolute rockstars from day one. Not only did they help us dream up this wild nighttime mountain adventure, but they also pitch in every year to make the course even better. Basically, they’re the kind of partner every trail race dreams of.

And let’s be honest — having a race at Roundtop has some serious perks. We’re talking:
🍺 Fun-filled atmosphere
🌭 Food and beverages on-site
🌌 The entire mountain to ourselves under the stars

How cool is that?

Huge thanks to the Roundtop team for supporting our local trail community and saying “yes” to all our ridiculous ideas. You rock! 💚
