UMSTEAD 100 MILE RUN REGISTRATION POLICY
Registration for the 2010 Race will open online at Noon EDT, Wednesday, September 9, 2009 via Active.com
The Umstead 100 Mile Endurance Run admits runners into the field predominately on a first to register basis. The Race does not distinguish between 100 mile and 50 mile entries for purposes of registration limits. The Race has a limit of 250 runners imposed both by our Park permit and our desire to give the highest quality service to our runners. Runners seeking entry into the 100 mile race must meet the entry criteria listed both on the Entry Form and in the Race Information Packet.
The following guidelines will be used in determining entry into the Race:
1. The Race will accept 280 total entries into the Race including reserved slots listed in items 2, 3, and 4 below. The extra 30 slots, above the 250 limit, will be to account for no shows on race day. This is in agreement with our Park permit. Candidates for the reserved slots should contact the Race Director to discuss availability of and qualification for these slots. The reserved slots, just like general registration, are limited and will be filled by first to request.
2. The Race will reserve 10 slots for competitive entries and previous male and female winners of the Race until March 1. Competitive is the potential for sub 17 hours for males and sub 18 hours for females on the Umstead course.
3. The Race will reserve 10 slots for members of the “500 Mile Club” until January 1.
4. The Race will reserve 10 slots for friends and volunteers of the Race until January 1.
5. Slots not utilized for 2, 3 and 4 above, if any, will be allotted to the Official Waiting List.
6. The opening of registration will normally be shortly after Labor Day each year.
7. Race Management will announce the opening of registration via the Official Race Website www.Umstead100.org. This posting will occur approximately four months before registration opens. No individual notice will be given of the registration date.
8. The race will accept online registration, via www.active.com, up to 200 entries on a first to register basis. All registration after the 200 online entries will be via hardcopy postal mail or other overnight mailing methods on a first to arrive basis. Hardcopy entries postmarked prior to the opening of registration will be held for 7 days past the official opening of registration, prior to processing. All waiting list entries will be taken from hardcopy mail.
9. The Race will maintain an Official Waiting List. Any registered runner who drops from the Race will be replaced, in order, from the waiting list. Race reserved slots not utilized by Race Management will be filled from the waiting list.
10. The Race will return the dropping runner’s entry fee, less the stated administration fee, for entry cancellations up until February 1.
