REMEMBER: we won't be mailing out any race packets or info. Just about everything and anything you might have questions about pertaining to the race is probably here (on our site) and if it isn't, contact me: (GuyPalmer) and I'll do everything I can to get your questions answered. Also, we don't mail out the bib numbers prior to the race date. We hand them out race morning - which forces you to "check in" and give us an accurate idea of who is (and isn't) present. Check the "Accepted Entrants page" for confirmation of your registration. Also, if you pay by Visa/MC/AMX, etc. you will receive (via email) a receipt for your entry payment. Print it out and bring it race day (just as a backup measure). We hope you'll join us. This is a great race and staffed by great volunteers. Updated 03/27/08
There will be Race Day registration but it is preferble if you register online. We will take online registration up to about 5 p.m Thursday. - after which you'll need to sign up race morning. Once again, you're better off signing up early. We can get overwhelmed race morning and the race starts on time regardless of how many folks are still registering. Don't Delay! Register Today!
