Union Peak Festival will connect creative-minded individuals and outdoor enthusiasts during a weekend of elevated pursuits at the Athlete’s Mountain.

Mountain sports devotees are invited to partake in sports demonstrations and outdoor meetups including golf skills clinics at Copper Creek Golf Course, morning yoga on the mountain, guided group mountain bike rides and fly-fishing casting clinics.   

A weekend of athletic endeavors wouldn’t be complete without the Summit Up 9K/5K Trail Run, happening on Saturday morning. Runners are invited to challenge their high-altitude lung capacity with a running race on the mountain that will test even the most seasoned sprinter. The course will surpass an elevation of 11,000 ft and climb into the high-alpine on the mountain. Runners will cross the on-mountain finish line and celebrate their strain at the 10 Barrel Backcountry Brew Pub with refreshing brews, brats and tunes. 

Those coming to Copper for the festival will also be able to enjoy the resort’s variety of summer activities throughout the weekend including access to mountain biking and hiking, the Rocky Mountain Coaster, Woodward WreckTangle, go-karts, zip line and more.
