We have physical space constraints that limit the amount of participants we can safely allow in each event. Starting in 2026 we will have a waitlist option if an event distance sells out. The wait list will be managed automatically based on a first-come-first-serve basis.
When a spot opens up, the next person on the wait list will be emailed a registration link. They will have 24 hours to register using that link or the spot will automatically be given to the next person in line. Our waitlist works automatically and it is not a manual process so we will not be able to grant exceptions. If you are on the waitlist, please regularly check your spam folder to ensure your registration has not been filtered from your inbox.
