Online Registration Test - NEW!
Pre-register for the race online; you can sign up without committing to the race - it is quicker to scratch a racer than manually enter on race day, so don't be shy. This is not yet the official registeration however, so please be sure to COMPLETELY fill out all official registration forms day of race.
