2011 Race Info
Entry: Go to Entry Instructions.

Entry Cost:   $50.00.  This fee is completely non-transferable and non-refundable.   Please consider carefully if you are ready to do this race before paying the final fee June 8th to 15th..  Also, please assume (to help you deal with reality) that above all, the $50.00 is a charitable gift to a great local cause.  Your fee will be completely donated to a local not-for-profit organization if you cannot run on Aug 13th.  If you break your leg May 31st and want a refund, it will go to a great cause.  If your sister decides to get married Aug 13th, the entry fee will go to a great cause.   You get the picture.

Waiting List:  There is none.  We will select 300 people via the lottery and "natural attrition" will whittle it down to our desired number at the starting line

Free entries:  All former finishers who have either won the race outright (top male and female) or have completed 10 Ridge Runs, can have a free entry. They still need to pay the $5 as if entering the lottery online but will then be guaranteed entry. Individuals earning a Free Entry: Free

Race Instructions:  can be viewed by downloading the PDF: PDF Instr.  Please read these instructions, especially the requirement for all 1st time runners to attend the mandatory Orientation Meeting on Friday Aug 12th - you can choose from 3 different meetings - at 4pm, 5pm, or 6pm at the Mountain Hot Tub business, 2744 West Main Street.
