All of us involved with the Wasatch 100 love the mountains and use the trails. Entrants to the Wasatch 100 run are required to complete 8 hours (one full day) of trail work. We feel that we need to be stewards of the land that we use and love. Those who have volunteered for trail work have discovered that it can be a lot of fun, so go out and enjoy yourselves! Acceptance into the Wasatch 100 will be a two-part procedure.
FIRST: From December 1st through January 4th there will be a link on our HOME page that will take you to our registration form on UltraSignup. Fill out and submit your registration along with your entry fee. Our entry fee is $325. If you do not already have an account on Ultra Signup, click the SIGN IN link at the top of their main page and create an account. That link will be toward the right side of the screen. After creating your account and signing in, go to the Wasatch 100 registration form. If you do not already have current payment information with UltraSignup you will need to provide a credit card to cover your entry fee. The credit cards of runners going through the lottery will not be charged until they have secured a spot in the race through the lottery. Automatic entries are typically charged sooner. After you have registered you will receive confirmation from Ultra Signup. If you are drawn in the lottery your name will be on the runner list on our website. Shortly thereafter you will receive a confirmation email from Ultra Signup indicating your credit card has been charged. If you have any questions or issues at all please direct them to us at info@wasatch100.com rather than contacting Ultra Signup.
****PLEASE NOTE that once the lottery has been held and a runner has been accepted into the race there are no refunds on the entry fee. In addition, an entry cannot be transferred to another person or deferred until the next year.
****Applications will be conditionally accepted based on the Wasatch 100 Mile Endurance Run selection process. Acceptance becomes final upon receipt of your trail work report. Runners must be 18 years of age to run.
SECOND: When weather allows, set up a time to complete your trail work. Let the agency you are working through know that you need to complete 8 hours of supervised volunteer work on trails with them prior to our August 15th trail work deadline. We prefer that you do your trail work with the Forest Service whenever possible. There is a link under the 2024 RACE link in the main menu of this website (Trail Work Opportunities) that will provide suggestions for sources of trail work along the Wasatch Front. For those of you living away from the Wasatch Front, or in areas where you have limited access to Forest Service projects, your trail work can be done in state parks, with other trail management organizations, or local parks and recreation organizations. When you perform your trail work take your trail work form with you. The agency you are working with will not have our form.
Eligible trail work will include maintenance of existing trails or building new trails under the supervision of the agency where you are doing your trail work. For those who live locally the work should be done in the Wasatch mountains whenever possible. For those who do not live locally the trail work should be done on your local trails.
**PLEASE NOTE that we do not accept volunteering at another race, training activities or work performed for entry into another race as satisfying our trail work requirement. Trail work must be completed after the previous year’s race. Unless there is nothing else available, litter or garbage pick-up is not acceptable.
Completely fill out the trail work report and email it to info@wasatch100.com. Trail work forms will not be accepted through regular mail. When you scan or take a readable picture of and email your report you will receive a response by email confirming receipt of your form. Once the runner list has been posted on our website, 3-4 days after you email your form please check to confirm a YES has been placed in the Trail Work column after your name. If you have any problems or questions please email us our regular email address. Be sure that we receive your completed trail work form no later than the August 15th trail work deadline. Do not rely on the agency you volunteer with to scan and email your report as it will usually get lost in the shuffle. Email your trail work report yourself. All work must be done after the previous year’s race is over. You are not officially entered until this report is received. If the trail work report is not received by the deadline, your acceptance into the race will be revoked.
PLEASE DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST WEEK OR TWO TO SCHEDULE OR PERFORM YOUR TRAIL WORK. SOMETHING COULD PREVENT YOU FROM COMPLETING YOUR WORK AND NO EXTENSIONS WILL BE GIVEN.
