Race Registration
Next registration opens in 2019. Online registration: you can pre-register without making a final commitment, so please sign up if you are even *thinking* of racing. Plus you’ll save $5! Pre-registration makes sign-ups go much quicker and easier on race day. Bonus – get your name spelled correctly.
