*Some insight into the model: We know you have a lot going on. The new model provides more opportunities for everyone to sign up, whether your work hours make it challenging or you might be waiting for the Western States drawing. We realize that there is no perfect way to do this, but this model allows us to preserve the long standing Laurel surprise opening announcement and also keep signup as accessible as possible.
We are again partnering with PA DCNR / Laurel Hill State Park by hosting a Laurel Highlands Ultra Racers: Spring Volunteer Day! The exact date is TBD! We’ll keep you all updated when we land on an April date soon!
