Pacers & Crew

Relay
Run the loops in any order, but each full loop must be completed. Running with only 2 or 3 people? Email us for a discount.
Distance Changes
Once your race starts, that is the distance you must finish to get its medal – there are no drop-downs mid-race (you'll be listed as a DNF). Change distances online on UltraSignup until the Wednesday of race week (Registration History → Edit → Switch Event). After that, changes are in person only and depend on availability.
