Reverse Ring

Reverse Ring is almost here.  Held the last weekend of February, it is only open to the Fellowship of the Ring-folks who finished The Ring over Labor Day.   There are thirty participants to date; that number is sure to fluctuate as the time for the event draws closer.

There are four NEO Trail members returning for RevRing: Bob Kim Cam Slim.  It is entirely coincidental that one must have a one syllable name in order to complete The Ring from Neo Trail.

The NEO Trail News Reporter has finally returned from Everest Base Camp and is trying to catch up with NEO Trail News...

Race date: Saturday Oct 5, 2013

Race website will be updated with the link to register by early to mid-March - see OilCreek100.org / oc100.org

Be prepared to type quickly - the 50K may sell out in 5 minutes or quicker this year, the 100K in about an hour, the 100 miler in about 3 or 4 weeks

Wild & tough 1860's oil boom era rules: NO REFUNDS, no transfers to another runner, no changing of distances, no deferring to a later year - if you sign up, train intelligently so you don't injure yourself and show up to stake your claim race morning.

NO DOGS / pets on race weekend - for the safety of the runners and the sanity of the aid station volunteers

Chip timing again this year, but webcast / splits may not be available race weekend (bonus if it is available)

Best of luck - "Strike Oil or Move On!"
