Due to UltraSignup not currently hosting free events we will have a $15 registration option to cover the cost of a run logo shirt for any runner that selects this option. There will also be a free “no shirt” option available as well. On the morning of the run we will have a cash donation option for those interested as we plan to have some finish line refreshments and possibly grill burgers and hotdogs for all finishers and crew members.
OK!
Consider this a great get together of friends on a training run, or a fun run, or a personal challenge, or simply a great excuse to run 31 hot miles non-stop from the heart of Etown to our neighbor town of Brandenburg Meade county.

EACH crew vehicle will be required to have warning signage signs ("Warning Runners on Road") posted on vehicles and warning/flashing lights "ON" at ALL times! Each Crew vehicle will be in GOOD working order. (Only one crew vehicle per runner).
