Registration and Packet Pickup

• How do I know if I'm registered? 

You will get an email confirmation from UltraSignUp.  And, you should be receiving emails from the RD with race details as they become available.  

• Is this a lady's only event? 

Nope! This event is for everyone. The RD's just happen to be ladies and felt the race name was fitting. 

• How many entrants are allowed?

140 total runners

• Am I allowed to have a crew?

Due to the nature of the bylaws of the conservation easement, where the race takes place, runners are limited to bringing 1 aid/ friend to the site per participant. However, we will have plenty of course support for each runner.

• Where is packet pickup, and when?

Packet pick-up will be on Friday, August 16th from 4-7 PM
Two Rivers Treads

Ranson, WV
We will also have limited race day pickup in the Race Village on Saturday, August 17th.

• What happens if I become injured after I enter and cannot participate?

 You will be able to transfer your bib to another runner, if there is a participant on the waiting list. If there is not a participant on the waiting list, you will need to wait until one becomes available. In a circumstance where a participant is available on the waiting list, contact us at [email protected] by June 15 to receive a full refund. After June 15, consider your registration a donation to the Rolling Ridge. 

• Can I transfer my registration to another person or roll over my registration to the next year?

Transfers are only possible if there is a runner on the waitlist. You may not choose who your registration is transferred to, in order to keep it fair, we must go in order. We do not offer roll overs for next year's race.

​
Timing & Results

• How is this race being timed?

We will have a large timing clock set up at the check in station near the start of the race. As you run by the check in station we will document your time when you check in and check out, so you are able to see your loop splits. However the clock will not stop if you decide to take a break at the check in aid station.
In 2024, we are adding chip timing into the mix as well!  There will be a timing chip on the back of your race bib.  Please cross the red timing mat (under the arch) as you complete each lap.  Results are available here!
