RACE FEE STRUCTURE:
Prior to March 1, 2010:
USAT Members: $60

At Packet Pickup, each child will either be required to show proof of an annual USAT membership or must pay the $5 fee. It is recommended that you go to USAT for Youths and obtain a one year youth membership prior to the race. Since every child must be an annual USAT member, this will save you time at packet pickup. If you pay the annual USAT fee with your entry, you cannot get a refund of this amount if your child attends a pre-race camp. So if you think your child will attend the pre-race camp, PAY THIS FEE LATER.

There are NO REFUNDS for entry fees. Please understand this policy prior to registering!
