We have so much information to give you that we actually put together a 20 page race packet and mail it to you a month before the event. Well, that's a "Dirt Calendar Month"...which is about half as long as a Julian Calendar month....most of the time. Here's just the basics so you kinda have an idea of what you're getting yourself into when you sign on . . . - Date: July 10, 2010
- Where: Baraboo, WI
- Start & Finish: Marathon : Starts & Finishes at Devil's Head Resort, S6330 Bluff Rd., Merrimac, WI.
- Half Marathon: NEW THIS YEAR Half marathon starts and finishes at Devil's Head Resort, S6330 Bluff Rd, Merrimac, WI
- Marathon Start: 6:30 am
- Half Marathon Start: 7:30 am
- Check-In & Late Registration: Runners must check in Friday night or Saturday morning, before the start. Number bibs & last minute information will be handed out. Friday Check-in is from 4-9 PM. Saturday-race day opens at 5 AM. Try to make the Friday Check-in!
- Early Check-in & Late Registration: Pick up your Dances with Dirt bib, shirt & timing tag at Movin' Shoes (528 South Park St, Madison) on Thursday, July 8th and take advantage of the summer sidewalk sale! 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!
- Daily Park Pass: You must have daily or annual state park permit on front window to enter the park or for family 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 family is entering the park, just ask for one at registration! Family, 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. Full and Half Marathon numbers will be different than relay teams and Ultra's.
- Thank the Volunteers & Sponsors: Running the race is easier!
