EVENT PRICING:
We have moved to a tiered pricing system. We open a waiting list once we have hit our 150 participant cap for the event. 

  • Launch – $150 (November 1 for the first 25 registered)
  • Early – $165 (through January 1)
  • Normal– $180 (January 2 to June 14)
  • Late – $190 (June 15 to September 19)

QUALIFICATION STANDARDS:
The difficulty of the terrain means this is NOT an entry-level race. Each potential participant will be reviewed by the race directors after we receive the completed registration. At a minimum, all participants must have completed at least one 50k or longer trail race within the advertised cut-off time before signing up. This must be within 3 years of the registration date. If you have a race that is not at least a 50k but has a high degree of difficulty, it may be an exception to the above standard – just contact us to find out if the race may qualify you. Be sure that your race is an official race with results published on a publicly available website. Timed races can not be used as a qualifying race. You must have completed a qualifying race before registering.

PACKET PICK UP:
Packet pick up is from Noon to 3:00pm at Mountain Top & Provisions. We encourage people to come at this time since it’s a great opportunity to hang out with others before embarking on your journey. We will also have late pick up from 10:00pm to 11:50pm at the start/finish line. Come get your stuff when it works best for your schedule.
