Changes for 2012

2012 will be a re-building year for the T200, a few changes are being made, at this time the changes are only for the 2012 season.   

T200 purse is set at $10,000, unlike other races we will not be raising the entry fee but lowering it to $200.  Registration will remain open at $200 until January 23, 2012.

• Like 2011 signup order will be the starting order.
• A new checkpoint location has been added, the trail will now go to Homer Alaska.  This will be approximately the 50 Mile marker with a 4 hour mandatory layover 2 hours on the outbound and 2 hours on the inbound. (Caribou Lake has been eliminated)
• The halfway layover will remain in Clam Gulch and will have a 6 hour mandatory layover, time adjustments will be made at this checkpoint.
• Total mandatory layover time is 10 hours (an additional 2 hours from previous years)
• In 2012 we will not have a T100, with limited resources the T200 Board of Directors have voted to put all available resources into keeping the T200 alive.  We have every intention of bringing the T100 back in 2013!

One more thing, Kevin Fulton will return as Race Marshall, Kevin ran in the very first T200 which went to Homer! Please check race rules for clarification and feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.
