BLU-Light

BLU-Light Invitational Only Event

This event is ONLY open to runners who are currently registered for the 2020 Beyond Limits Ultra Event which has been postponed to April 8-11, 2021. Please do not register unless you are already registered for the 2020 Beyond Limits Ultra as your registration will be canceled. The purpose of the BLU-Light is to give the registered 2020 BLU runners an opportunity to run a small distance race at Pathfinder Ranch while they wait for the postponed Beyond Limits Ultra to occur. There is a marathon and 50K on Saturday, Oct 17 and a marathon and 50K on Sunday, Oct 18. There is a cap of 45 runners allowed on Saturday, October 17 (both races combined) and a cap of 45 runners allowed on Sunday, Oct 18 (both races combined). Races start at 9:00 AM and have a strict 8 hour time limit. Runners will only have access to one set of bathrooms at Pathfinder Ranch and guests are not allowed. There will be no pre or post race gatherings. For those registered 2020 BLU runners who can't travel to Pathfinder Ranch to experience BLU-Light, you can register for a virtual version of either race distance and complete the miles over the same weekend (October 17-18, 2020). A finisher medal will be mailed to you. You will be charged a registration fee of $7.00 to cover insurance liability for whatever race you register for. Besides giving runners a chance to run at Pathfinder Ranch during these challenging times, BLU-Light is also serving as a fund raiser for the NON-PROFIT Pathfinder Ranch. Pathfinder is an educational center and sleep-away camp for kids. Due to the Governor of California's covid restrictions, Pathfinder has been shuttered to kids since the beginning of the pandemic and remains closed to kids under current rules and is under financial strain. Runners will be given an opportunity to donate directly to Pathfinder through a donation funding page which will be shared with all runners on September 9, 2020. Suggested donation is $30 for the marathon and $40 for the 50K. Donations are strictly voluntary and runners can donate any amount (including zero). The race directors are donating their time, transportation, medals, postage to mail medals and all race production costs associated with BLU-Light.
