Volunteer Priority Registration (2025 Kettle Volunteers)
Our incredible 2025 volunteers will receive an early invitation to register during the last week of November.
If you sign up during that window, you’ll be guaranteed a spot before entry moves to the waitlist.
We post a link to all the volunteers that officially registered in 2025 on home page of our website. If you are listed on that sheet you will get an early invite, and a race credit will be attached to your email address that you chose when you registered. Directions at registration are to use the email address that you use for ultrasignup.
Please reach out with any questions before the lottery opens for priority volunteers.
Rollovers- reach out with any questions before December 30th. We can not guarantee a spot after that. You can use your rollover credit, but you will be on the waitlist in the order you registered.

Kettle Moraine 100 is one of the oldest 100 mile races in the country
This classic ultra marathon was started in 1996 by Kevin and Kris Setnes. They RD'd for 6 years, then Tim "Timo" Yanacheck and Jason Dorgan Co-RD'd until 2018. These four ultra running pioneers built traditions in Kettle Moraine 100 that will carry on for many years to come. Their work is why so many of us are trail and ultra-marathoners. Thank you Kevin, Kris, Timo and Jason for all you have done. You are greatly admired, respected and appreciated by the trail and ultra community.

WAITLIST
We will invite runners off the waitlist when spots open up. Due to the large number of runners that all registered at once the registration process allowed more runners than our cap so the invites will not go out until we get below the cap we had set.

You can remove your name from the waitlist by going to your registration history.
How will you know if you are invited off the waitlist?
1. You will get an email inviting you to register.
