Registration
Click HERE to go to Ultrasignup to register NOW...
See our Wait List section of our policies HERE in case we are currently sold out!
-
As with all The Active Joe races, bib numbers are assigned in order of signup, so the lowest numbers for those most enthusiastic who sign up first!
-
For the first 300 entrants: You are also given the chance to request your top 3 "lucky" bib numbers. If not already claimed, I'll give you the first one of those listed that I can!
-
You can personalize your bib with any nickname until October 1st.
-
Mail-in registration is not available.
-
Children 12 and under entered in the race will need to have an adult with them every step of the race. This is a big state park, and I don't want a child getting distracted on the course, getting lost, and having any distress.
Trail Mix Fund
Our race is a proud part of the Trail Mix Fund, a non-profit organization that helps cover registration fees for those in need. If you are interested in running a trail race and aren't able to afford the entry fee AND/OR are part of a BIPOC or LGBTQIA+ community, submit this form to be considered to have your fee waived by the Trail Mix Fund.
We want to help people who are under-served, under-resourced, and under-represented. This includes people of color and LGBTQ+, but is not restricted to those communities.

Our entry fees go up based on how many have already signed up!

Refunds
Refunds can be requested if you find your plans change. If you cancel your race in an email to us or by removing yourself in Ultrasignup without requesting a refund specifically, we assume that you want your entry fee to be treated as a donation to our organization and our charitable causes.
Refunds are done through a tiered system based on when it is requested:
We use a tiered system for entry refunds (not including the online Ultrasignup processing fee):
80% refund for withdrawals before September 1st
60% refund for withdrawals September 1st through September 30th
50% refund for withdrawals October 1st to November 19th (2 days before race day)
No refunds after November 19th.
No deferrals are allowed, especially because we have our super generous partial refund policy.
Uterine Change Refund Policy
So while some races have started to offer a Pregnancy Deferral Policy, we take it one step further to create even more equity when training and racing can come with extra complications for those with female reproductive systems because those individuals can go through physical and emotional changes that make training or racing more difficult to plan for and more difficult to accomplish! Our Uterine Change Refund Policy says that if you have an expected or unexpected start or end to a pregnancy after registering for the race and you need to cancel your entry, we'll refund 100% of your entry fee, not subject to our usual admin fee listed in the Refunds section. Email us and cite the policy - no additional info has to be volunteered, we trust our runners this offer won't be abused - and we'll get that refund to you.
Bib Transfers
Want to transfer your race entry to a friend? Bib transfers will be allowed until October 1st with a $15 Administration Fee. After that at the discretion of the Race Director's available time for an administration fee of $30. NO TRANSFERS ALLOWED ON RACE DAY. If we've already committed the available swag (like shirts), your friend taking your bib gets whatever sizes/stuff you signed up for (no switches).
Changing Distances Ahead of Time
If you want to switch distances before your race starts, email us before Wednesday, November 19 to make it race morning official and have a bib that matches your new distance. We may not be able to switch you after that - ask after November 19.
​
Distance upgrades only need to pay the difference between the price you paid for your original distance and the current price at the time of the request for your new distance (plus the Ultrasignup online processing fee).
Distance downgrades do not receive a refund for any price difference.
You can only change distances while that distance has spots still available.
Dropping Down Distance Mid-race
No dropdowns allowed mid-race in any distance. However, even 100 Milers will get a 100K finish this year! Because we have moved the 100 Miler's last 5 mile loop to the end of the race, both 100K and 100 milers will come through the finish line area at the 100K mark. We have made the decision to record everyone's 100K split, regardless of distance registered for, as an actual 100K finish. 100 milers who drop out of the race before 100K will show as a DNF. 100 milers who drop out of the race before their 100 mile finish but after 100K will not show a DNF because of the 100K recorded finish, and they will receive a 100K buckle. All 100 milers who finish out the full 100 mile distance will get a 100 mile buckle instead of a 100K buckle but will also have a recorded 100K finish! This will be a huge help to our timing guy with this setup!
