Want to Run The Crest for free??

 

You can when you refer friends and family!

How do you race for free?  Well...when 5 people register using your referral link, you get a refund of $25.  Get 3 additional people to register using your link and get another $25 back.  You will continue to get an additional $25 back for every additional 3 entries using your link until you get refunded your entire entry fee.
