All of us involved with the Wasatch 100 love the mountains and use the trails. Entrants to the Wasatch 100 run are required to complete 8 hours (one full day) of trail work. We feel that we need to be stewards of the land that we use and love. Those who have volunteered for trail work have discovered that it can be a lot of fun, so go out and enjoy yourselves! Acceptance into the Wasatch 100 will be a two-part procedure.
FIRST fill out your Application for Entry and send with a check for $155 to:
Applications will be conditionally accepted based on the Wasatch 100 Mile Endurace Run Selection Process. Acceptance becomes final upon receipt of your trail work report. Runners must be 18 years of age to run.
SECOND call your local Forest Service and tell them that you need to work on trails with them prior to August 18th. Find out possible days that you could work with them. Then pick a day and show up at the appointed time and place. Talk to the supervisor and let him/her know that you will need him/her to sign your trail work report verifying the amount of work completed. Take your trail work form with you when you do the work, the Forest Service will not have a form.
Eligible trail work will include maintenance of existing trails or building new trails under the supervision of the Forest Service. For those who live locally, the work should be done in the Wasatch mountains. For those who do not, the trail work should be done on your local trails with your local Forest Service. For those few who have limited access to trails, your trail work could be done with your local parks and recreation organizations. Exceptions may be granted for the few who may have unusual hardships. A written request for exemption is required.
Completely fill out the trail work report and mail it to the above address, making sure that it is postmarked no later than August 18th. All work must be done after the previous year's race is over. You are not officially entered until this report is received. If the trail work report is not sent by the August 18th deadline, your acceptance will be revoked. Remember, refunds will be provided up until August 13th. After that date no refunds will be given.
