Can I receive a refund if I cannot run?

Yes, those who register and decide to not run before 30 April can receive a 50% refund of the registration cost.  No refunds after April 30th, as most race registration fees have gone to race costs by then. You may also opt to transfer your registration to another person. This can be accomplished on Ultrasignup up to two weeks before raceday.

Can I have a pacer during the race?

No, our permits mandate race participants only on course. We run the risk of not being able to do the race again if we surpass our permitted # of people on course.

Can I switch to a different distance after I have already registered?

Yes, if you want to switch to the 50k, 25k, or half-marathon from your current distance, please email the Race Director at blackmountaintrailracing@gmail.com

Can I transfer My race bib to someone else?

Yes, you can do this through Ultrasignup up to two weeks before raceday.

Where do I find a map and elevation profile?

This can be found on this website under Course Description, then choose the distance you are running. Click on “Show Map” to populate the map. To access the elevation profile click on the icon in the corner of the map. This map is interactive. Please download the GXP file for the race distance once you register/sign-in for free on the Hello Drifter website.

Can I roll my entry over to a future year?

If you need to rollover your entry until the following year due to injury, pregnancy, postpartum care, or inability to participate due to family obligations, please email blackmountaintrailracing@gmail.com.

Why am I on a waitlist?

The waitlist means the distance is full. We will send invites to runners on the waitlist as spaces open up! Hopefully it’s you!

Why am I still on the waitlist?

The waitlist will close the day after registration closes. We will do our best to reach out to waitlisted runners as soon as a spot opens up. There may be spots on race morning, but this entirely depends on the year. Please email us at blackmountaintrailracing@gmail.com to inquire.

Can I get in on race morning?

As stated above, we are limited to a set number of runners each year, per our permit, and cannot go over. Registering early or getting on the waitlist after it sells out is your best bet to get in.

What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

You’ll have to register to find out.
