100 Mile, 50 Mile, and Marathon registration is going well with registrations up 10% this year. We are welcoming participants from 34 states, District of Columbia, Canada, Norway, and Luxembourg.
100M/50M: We try our best to not cap the 100M and 50M distances.
Marathon: We have been able to work out some logistical challenges and the Marathon has more capacity this year!
Relay is at 80% capacity – we recommend getting your team registered sooner vs later.
No Late Fee for the Relay: The relay always sells out and we want to make it easier for relay captains to fill their team. Anyone who already paid the increase will automatically get a refund - give us a week or so to process them all and get it back to your credit card.
