Sí. Todos los líderes de puntos de control podrán nominar a un corredor al que se le permitirá participar en la carrera, sin pasar por la lotería. Por ejemplo, si 4 corredores se ofrecen como voluntarios en un avituallamiento, solo se seleccionará uno.

The nominated runner bypasses the Lottery and is accepted into the AC100 for volunteering, they still have to pay the Entry Fee race and perform 8 hours of Trail Maintenance.

SOLICITUD

  • Have previous AC100 finishes

  • Entered last year’s Lottery but weren’t selected

  • Enter the race in the SOLO division

  • Volunteered at the previous year’s AC100

  • Are going for 4 or more consecutive finishes

Yes — if your name is drawn in the Lottery, your credit card will be charged automatically and you will be officially entered in the race. There is no opt-in or confirmation step.

  • Charges are processed a day or two after the Lottery closes.

  • You’ll know you were selected by seeing the charge or when the official entrant list is posted.

  • If you’re selected, you cannot decline or defer.

If your name is drawn for the Lista de espera, you are not charged immediately. Instead, you’ll receive a direct invitation from ultraSignUP if a spot opens up later in the year (usually around refund deadlines).

  • In this email, you’ll have the option to confirm or decline the invitation before your card is charged.

  • If you decline, your spot will go to the next runner on the list.

  • If you accept your card wil be charged and you will be entered into the race.

That depends on your goal. Entering multiple names (you and your partner) does increase your overall chances of one of you getting selected. But if both of you are drawn, you’ll both be automatically entered and charged — no option to decline.

If only one of you plans to race while the other crews or paces, we recommend just entering the runner’s name. There’s no way to transfer, defer, or opt out once selected.

Sí, se permiten bastones de trekking durante la carrera. 

Cualquier corredor que reciba una vía intravenosa durante la carrera será automáticamente eliminado de la carrera. A ese corredor no se le permitirá seguir adelante y aparecerá como DNF.

No dogs are allowed at any aid stations or on the course.

LOGÍSTICA

We do not offer any transportation services for runners returning to Wrightwood. It is the runner’s responsibility to find their own way back to the start line. Typically, runners will either: 1) get a ride from someone who lives in Wrightwood and is returning home, or 2) share a ride with another runner who has parked their car at the finish line and is driving back to Wrightwood. These arrangements can be made with other runners in our Facebook Group or by contacting us directly.

What Most runners find is another participant who is facing the same issue. They join forces by driving two cars to the Finish Area. One car is left at the Finish Line, and then they drive back to Wrightwood together, where they park the second car. Additionally, runners often use services like Uber or Lyft for transportation.

No hay una lista oficial de viajes compartidos en el sitio web. Sin embargo, los corredores pueden coordinar un viaje compartido a través de nuestro grupo de facebook

You can also contact us to request being added to the shared Google sheet for the race carpool.

Los corredores quieren una carrera que sea desafiante y justa. AC 100 es un clásico de resistencia punto a punto muy deseable para los corredores.

Las clásicas carreras de resistencia punto a punto son eventos de otra época. A medida que se designan más áreas silvestres en el Sistema Forestal Nacional, ya no hay suficiente espacio para organizar este tipo de carrera. Y suponen mucho más trabajo de montar que una carrera tipo bucle.

FOTOS DEL CURSO

We try to have a photographer capturing images as the runner crosses the finish line, with the finish banner in the background. However, it’s not guaranteed.
