Last year's shoes at blowout prices! Winter apparel -- including pants, tights and jackets -- will also be on major sale. As a thank you to everyone who picks up their Dances with Dirt race stuff at the store, you can get a Movin' Shoes singlet for only $10 while supplies last -- this is a $25 value!
  
• Drop Bags will be at Burma Road, which is at miles 17, 19 for both the 50K and 50M, and miles 32, 34 for the 50M.
• Decision Point (where you may decide to continue with the 50M or head back to the finish for 50K) is at Steinke Basin at 25 miles. The 50M cutoff is 13 hours. If you arrive back at Steinke Basin after High Noon, you won't have time to continue with the 50M race and finish within 13 hours, so you will be directed to head back to the Finish. If that happens, you'll be scored in the 50K race.
• Daily Park Pass: You must have daily or annual state park permit on front window to enter the park or for family or handlers to follow you around the course. The race starts and finishes outside the park so no permit is needed to run. We will have passes if your support staff is entering the park, just ask for one at registration if you have support staff! Support, be prepared to assist the volunteers while you hang around. Please obey the parking signs and volunteers, even if they seem irrational!
• Parking: Expect parking insanity, handlers must park in designated areas.
• Dirt Numbers: All runners must wear race number visible on the front. Ultra numbers will be different than relay teams.
