No notification before race time, you forfeit your entry fee,( we want to be able to "TRY" and fill your positition), since nearly all of our races fill to capacity, we want to have you "run" our races, not take your $ for not ever showing up. We have to purchase food, shirts, etc for all races by 1 month before the event. We have to fill the event to cover our costs, so we give you the option to postone your entry for Free. If we don't fill your spot, the race loses money, and our proceeds to local running clubs and youth running, especially TRails & Cross Country, will be diminshed. We don't want that to happen, and neither do you, we hope, so enter early an save $. !!!!
