In an effort to streamline event procedures and reduce the environmental cost of printing excess maps, we are moving to an online registration system. Participants who do not register in advance are welcome to come on race day for a $25 entry fee, but please arrive early, as there will only be 10 extra maps available on a first-come, first-served basis.
This event will use Sport Ident timing. Please include your Sport Ident number when registering. If you need to rent a Sport Ident card, select the checkbox on the entry form and you will be charged a $3 rental fee.
