Entry
Applying does not guarantee entry, it’s simply an application.
Entries will be granted solely at the discretion of the RD, you will not need to pay anything until you’re accepted.
The cost to enter is $27. This fee includes a beverage, meal and t-shirt at the finish. You get the shirt only if you finish under the 8.5-day cutoff.
What we offer is a significant challenge, serious business, significantly difficult intentionally, one not aspired to by most, to be completed by fewer still.
