David Moore That’s the first I’ve heard of the trails around Summit Lake. I’m going to check them out. Awesome race time, congratulations on the 2nd place age group Scott!

Scott O David I think moving the race to Summit Lake was an effort to bring awareness to the new trails. The trails are paved and go 1/2 - 3/4 ways around the lake. I was impressed by the trails. I am not sure why they don't make a complete loop around the lake but I am sure there is a reason.
