Q: A: Usually no, but if the race you want to switch to is not sold out, then probably yes. To find out if the race is sold out or not, please go to UltraSignup and search for the race you're interested in; if the race is sold out, UltraSignup will show that. If you would like to switch between distances that fall on the same day (Beacon Rock 25K and 50K), you can do so on Ultrasignup. Transfers must be completed at least 7 days from race day. If the distances fall on separate days (50K on Saturday, 25K on Sunday) and both distances are sold out, you cannot switch distances.Q: I have a Rainshadow Credit or Rainshadow Gift Credit. How do I use it?

https://www.rainshadowrunning.com/howtousecredit.htmlQ: What about finisher medals? A: We do not offer finisher medals at any of our races (except belt buckles at Orcas 100). From the very first days at Rainshadow Running, the goal has always been to create a sense of community through trails, music, and camaraderie. For this reason, we choose to spend the money that would normally go towards medals to providing free all-you-can-eat handmade wood-fired pizza, free local, craft beer and non-alcoholic beverages, plenty of free snacks, and a live band at the finish line. This post race party is available for all of our runners and volunteers, but also to any friends or family at no additional charge. Our goal is create a welcoming and fun atmosphere to hang out after the race, share trail stories, and cheer on all your fellow runners. If your goal is to leave your trail race with simply a medal to show, this is probably not the organization for you. Q: What sort of aid station food can I expect at Rainshadow aid stations? A: Our aid stations always feature plenty of water, potato chips, PB&J, fresh fruit (oranges, grapes, watermelon), jelly beans, GU gels and Nuun electrolyte drink, pickles, and soda. During our long races (100K/100 miles) we will feature hot soup and other savory snacks. You can also pack your preferred calories in drop bags, and/or carry them with you along the course. Q: Can I run with trekking poles? A: Yes, just please be mindful of others around you. No one wants to get stabbed, right?

Question 2

Q: Can I run with my dog(s)?

Accepted Answer

A: Well-behaved, leashed dogs are allowed on most of our courses, but due to permitting agencies and safety, they aren't allowed on all of them. Dogs are currently allowed on all our race courses except Sun Mountain* *Dogs are prohibited from being in the main lodge or the bunkhouses at Camp Moran at the Orcas Island 100M. However we discourage dogs on the following courses: Yakima Skyline (tough conditions for the dogs, lack of water on course, and chance of rattlesnakes) and Deception Pass (because of the narrow trails and the numerous out and back sections passing other runners will be extra tricky with a dog).Q: Your race is sold out. Can I run it anyhow?

Question 3

A: As these cut-off times are for safety and the sake of our volunteers, we appreciate your cooperation. If you don't leave the aid station before the cut-off time, please accept your fate with grace, and save the rest of the run for another day. Volunteers will help you find a ride back to the start/finish, or you'll come back to the finish-line with them when the aid station closes, where we hope you'll celebrate the day with us. We take this rule very seriously and a violation of this policy could result in a ban from future races as disobeying this rule puts our permits in jeopardy.. Q: Can my child run BLANK race?

Accepted Answer

A: Maybe. There are a lot of variables involved in this kind of decision so it'll require a discussion. Some races or distances we're more likely to say "yes=" to, others might get a "no=" or "yes, if...". Some of our races are quite remote or have weather or other factors that make them more dangerous. Some of our races are more benign. And of course the longer the distance or the younger the child is further complicates things. Past experience in general, both for the child and for the parent, helps a lot as does familiarity with the Rainshadow races and the specific race in question. If your child is interested in running one of our races please email [email protected] to discuss. And please check out this article from UltraRunning Magazine "How Young is Too Young?
