Registration Opening May 26th

Some of you have inquired and yes, registration is opening soon!
Today, May 26th at noon to be exact!

We will have some awesome news to share with you on the 27th check here, on Facebook or @mtngoatrunning on Twitter.

For registration here is a run down how it is going to work since this is a different registration site and set up all together.

Options:
You have several registration options:

• Full Series- Adult    Note: Only the first 100 registrants will have the option for a free Salomon Tech Shirt, if you don't see the question for shirt size you are not one of the first 100.
• Full Series- Youth
• Individual Race- Adult
• Individual Race- Youth

Click on the plus sign to see details. Once open you will see the registration button. Click the Register Now button to begin.

The details for the long sleeve shirt have not been ironed out yet. When they have been determined you will be able to purchase one or upgrade (for first 100 adult full series registrants). 

If you have any questions contact us.

Update on Registration and More

Since it has been a while, figured an update was due.

Due to our growth we no longer fit in the QBP parking lot. The start/finish area has moved in to the park. All races will start/finish by Jan's Place. For the October races Jan's Place will be open so we can use it to shelter us from the cooler evening weather.

With the location change the courses will be different from years past. We are working on the courses and as soon as we have them set the website will be updated. This does include the Youth Run course also.

The registration site has changed.

• Pre-registered runners will not have to fill out a waiver on race day. 
• The online registration fee is less.
• There will be an option for an alternative race shirt
• There will be pre-registration available for the Youth Run-It is still free!

Speaking of shirts, once again the first 100 people who sign up for the Full Series -Adult will receive the Salomon technical shirt as a part of his/her registration. Once the 100 registrant mark is reached, the site will be down temporarily to remove the shirt option. It will then be back up so if you see that Full Series -Adult is not available please be patient it will return shortly.

Once we get the alternative shirt details determined registration will be open and explained. 

One last update, a teaser though. We have some bigs things planned for this year that you won't want to miss, so keep an eye out!

Thank Yous

I am going to take this post to say thank you to our race sponsors and volunteers. I mentioned this at the beginning of each race, but it bears repeating again. Without our sponsors and volunteers this series would not possible nor would its success. For my self and on behalf of all the runners thank you for your time, energy, support, and products.

Results

Race #4 results are here. You can find Series results and Awards listing by clicking on the word.

Congratulations to all who ran, to all who improved their times throughout the series and those who won awards!

Race #4 Reminders

Remember the race starts at 6:00pm, registration opens at 5:00pm and youth run begins at 5:30pm. Don't forget a headlamp or flashlight. We will have Rusty Taco and adult beverages after the race. Every registered runner gets a taco and those of age get an adult beverage. Don't forget your ID. No ID no adult beverage.

We will be presenting awards as soon as possible after the race. With this being the last we will have a lot of swag to award also.

Psyched to see you Wednesday! It has been a lot of fun.

Race #3 Results

Results for race #3 are here. Times again this week were faster. The weather probably was an incentive for a fast finish.

Thank you to all the volunteers who helped out. We had major contributions from the Twin Cities Running Experiment (aka TCRE) and the Twin Cities Running Club.

In two weeks Rusty Taco will be back and there will be beer and pop in addition to Dyna Moo milk. Remember this race will be the final race of the series. Stick around for awards and the drawing for a lot of swag from our sponsors.

See you on the trails!
