Qualification requirements to enter the 2018 event are as follows: Applicants must have completed an official 50 mile race in less than 13 hours from between January 1,2016 through April 15, 2018. Anyone who has completed an official 100K or 100 mile run in the last 2 years (January 1, 2016 to April 15, 2018 is also qualified to apply).

We'll accept applications on Ultrasignup beginning 1/1/2018 through the deadline of midnight of 1/4/2018. A lottery will take place if over 300 qualified applications are received. If there are less than 300 applicants, entries will reopen on ultrasignup until the 300 person limit is reached. A waitlist will be maintained on Ultrasignup once the field limit of 300 is reached. The latest date for wait listed applicants to receive a slot is April 15, 2018. After that date, there will be no refunds for entrants and no other applicants will be accepted.

All entrants are required to perform 6 hours of volunteer work within a year prior to the start of the 2018 race as a requisite to participate. We expect entrants to attempt to accomplish their volunteer work on trail maintenance but volunteering at an ultra or other race, or by volunteering at a community service is acceptable.
