Every fall, Park City, Utah, becomes a gathering point for clinicians, coaches, and researchers passionate about running. And 2025? It’s not just any year it marks the 10th anniversary of the Mountain Land Running Summit. If you’re a physical therapist, athletic trainer, coach, or clinician involved with runners, this is your summit.
Held September 25–27, 2025, at the Sheraton Park City, this summit delivers the perfect mix of continuing education, hands-on training, and meaningful networking set against the stunning backdrop of Utah’s autumn mountains.
CEUs That Actually Boost Your Practice
Sure, everyone needs CEUs but how many actually help you hone your craft? The Running Summit offers up to 13 CEUs, accredited by the Utah Physical Therapy Association and approved by the Board of Certification for athletic trainers Summit MLPT.
Here’s what sets it apart:
-
Thursday Pre-Conference Labs (3 CEUs): Choose between a hands-on MSK ultrasound workshop or a running mechanics & gait retraining lab. These labs focus on real skills you’ll use in your clinic the next day.
This isn’t checkbox CE this is CE that improves your skills and your patients’ outcomes.
