You understand that events are expensive, even when cancelled, and you want us to keep your registration for the Rescue Teams . We deeply appreciate your generosity and look forward to seeing you in the Gorge when it reopens. Our races are the biggest contributors to the Search and Rescue Teams in Wolfe, Powell, Lee and Menifee Counties. You make a huge difference to the people of the Appalachian Mountains and we look forward to seeing you here.

Sincerely

Joe Bowen

We understand these are difficult times. Because of  COVID=19 and Safety precautions this cancellation was beyond our control also. You understand that there have already been costs to the race and we hate that we are not able to do this race in person. We hope you will come to the Gorge when it reopens and join us next time.
