The PR column above is based on a known result at a prior backyard ultra or a number of hours completed in the comparable Lastest Not Fastest race (where the distance per hour is slightly different). Please email Carl Worth <carl@slug.run> if you are aware of any PR result missing from the table above.

Remaining entries in the race (up to a maximum of 90 participants) will be filled in first-come, first-served order based on registration, and then from a wait list which will be processed in order.
