Registration for the relay categories (both pairs and team) of the seventh annual Door County Fall 50 reached its full capacity of 400 teams on Sunday, April 15th.  Registration for the event opened April 1st, just two weeks earlier.  In order to limit congestion and maintain safety at the start line, at the finish line and at the rest stations along the course, ADDITIONAL REGISTRATIONS ARE NO LONGER BEING ACCEPTED FOR THE RELAY EVENTS.  Registration for the Solo (one person) Division of the 50-mile ultra-marathon remains open but is limited to a 200-participant capacity this year.  Please note that participants MAY NOT switch between the Solo Division and the Team/Pairs Division nor can they merge to form a team.  The Fall 50 does not accept cancellations although team captains may elect to sell their team if they so choose.  For this reason, ORGANIZERS DO NOT MAINTAIN A WAIT LIST.  People wanting to buy or sell team entries are encouraged to post on the event’s Facebook page (see link on this page).

Registration for the 2012 edition of the Door County Fall 50 opened at Noon on Sunday, April 1st. Exactly 400 teams and 200 solo runners will be accepted for the 2012 event. Capacity for this event is increased gradually each year to address constraints at the start line, the rest stations and the post-race party area in Sturgeon Bay.  Registration fees are posted on the REGISTRATION PAGE of the event website.

Team captains DO NOT need to have all of the names, birthdates, t-shirt sizes, etc., of their team members when they register.  They may add team members, remove team members, or edit team member information an unlimited number of times between the time they register and the event date at no cost.  Captains may also increase the size of their team from 2-, 3- or 4-person teams up to a maximum size of 5 persons on a team, however, the system will charge the current rate per team member that month at the time that they increase the size of their team.  In other words, captains who know they are going to have a 5-person team are advised to register as a 5-person team when they initially register to avoid increased fees when team members are added later. Solo runners MAY NOT convert to any of the team categories.

In order to guarantee your team members t-shirt sizes and avoid receiving an inaccurate start wave assignment, Fall 50 teams must have their rosters completed by Friday, September 30th.    Wave assignments for the teams will be set based on the anticipated pace data for each runner and team in the system on Friday, September 30th at midnight.  Teams will be assigned to the three waves based on the collective pace of their members.  The slowest third of the teams will start at 8 am on race day, the middle third at 9 am and the fastest third at 10 am.  Start time assignments will be posted to the website on Monday, October 3rd.  Once the start time assignments are posted, they will not be changed for any reason, including failure to complete your roster, last-minute changes in your roster or sudden unexplained increases or reductions in your anticipated pace…Yes, we know all your tricks
