Summit Trail Running Series

The Nike Summit Trail Running Series (STRS) kicks off on Wednesday with a race at the Baker's Tank trail off Boreas Pass Road in Breckenridge.

Organizers say it's not likely to be "bigger than ever," which will be a change from recent years.

Since the town of Breckenridge took over the series' organization four years ago, it has gone up in numbers every year.

From 200 total competitors in 2003, it grew to 500 runners in 2004, then 731 runners in 2005. Series organizer Stacey Todd of the Breck Recreation Department said she expects the numbers to finally plateau this summer.
