I know in the past registration day has not been a big deal, but this year we have made the promise to have it ready and available tomorrow, February 1, and it will happen! It will be ready to go by noon. Like I have mentioned in the past, the walk-in/mail-in registration form was a small feat in itself with the liability waiver, including everything necessary, and trying to keep it to one page, which we did. We hope that most will register on Active.com, however, like in the past. We discount our prices by $10 to promote this.
So getting all of the information into Active is another accomplishment in itself. Thank goodness, another devoted volunteer has committed to do this task year after year and worked with me today to tweak things! Adding the relay, added challenges as far as the issue of how registration is done. So if you are registering for the relay, it will be done by the team captain. Then, a waiver form, which can be downloaded from the website will be signed by all runners, and turned in at packet pick-up. I ran a 6-person relay from Ft. Collins to Steamboat Springs a couple of years ago, yes-195 miles and 27 hours later, and I had to reflect on how that registration was handled. (Funny thing is, several members of that team are on the ADTM race committee.) We also researched some others and this seemed the most simple way, so that is how it has ended up. Relay packets will be distributed to any team member that brings that "team waiver form" signed by all members.
Although Active is very thorough, it is not the website, so please make sure you read up on all of the details on the website if you have questions...and if you are reading this, I am not concerned! :) The workload for the race goes up and down right now. It was on cruise control for a week, and then with a deadline came a few hours of work. Most of all, the work is spread out and so many people offer additional help where necessary - thank you! The website continues to be modified and even today I discovered that some great pictures were added!
If you live in Colorado you know we are starting to get some great running days! Lace up those shoes and enjoy the outdoors. Suppose to be a little chilly tomorrow then back up in the 60's by Wednesday, woohoo!
