WELLNESS VILLAGE – SUMMIT COUNTY MIDDLE SCHOOL
Summit County Middle School

Frisco, CO 80443
We are pleased to announce that the Wellness Village will be returning to Summit County Middle School - the same lakeside site that has been our home away from home for the past two years. The school is located in the heart of Frisco’s downtown area, with a short walk to many shops and restaurants and provides amazing scenery of the mountains, the Dillon Reservoir and the Frisco Marina.
Please check back regularly for information about the limited visitor parking at the Wellness Village.
THE ROUTE:
Walking from Keystone Resort to Frisco and on to Breckenridge
The walk route from Keystone Resort to Frisco and Breckenridge will consist mostly of sidewalks and recreational bike paths. The trail will still be open to the public and you will see many people out enjoying all that Summit County has to offer.
The route itself will be clearly marked with directional signage and other markings. This is how you will navigate the route during the event—by following the signs. There is also a route support team called ‘the Sweep Team,’ who are available to help you while you are on the road between Quick Stops and Rest Stops.
Overall, the route will take you through some of the most beautiful scenery in Summit County. You will be able to see four of Colorado’s famous “Fourteeners” while you walk a route that is designed to be safe, fun and interesting.
(For those of you new to Colorado and the Rockies – the ‘Fourteeners’ are mountains with elevations above 14,000 ft).

Thank you so much for walking with us this year!!
We look forward to seeing you out on the road!
