What To Wear | Recommended Gear AS Tents will have “heaters” but come ready for COLD weather and running in the snow regardless of the weather forecast. Bring EXTRA clothes, socks and another pair of running shoes. This is Wisconsin after all … The weather does turn for the worst rather quickly! If running the 50 miler, I suggest you bring a “headlamp” with “extra batteries” in your drop bag. 10 Day Race Area Weather Forecast Paste the link onto your browser | https://weather.com/weather/tenday/l/301732c09e4ed029e896e876c95c05253376f80c7bff0a9848e8996478ed2983 Refund, Transfer and Deferral Policy REFUND - No refund in the event that the RACE is CANCELLED due to inclement weather. - Every transaction is final. No refund will be issued to anyone who at a later date decides to CANCEL his/her race entry. Your best option at that juncture is to DEFER your entry to the following year. See DEFFERAL Policy below. - We are in extraordinary times with COVID19, but due to the related costs incurred for the event, we will not refund the monetary difference when one chooses to DROPDOWN from a longer race distance to a shorter one. TRANSFER We allow transfer(s) but it must be made known to us 45 days before race day. Furthermore, TRANSFERS to a SHORTER DISTANCE though executed 45 days before race day will NOT receive any refund for the monetary difference of the longer race entry. DEFERRAL We allow deferral(s). In fact, NO QUESTION(S) will be asked as to your reason for the deferral but will only credit you up to 50% of your registration fee plus $10 processing fee for the following year. You have one year to "use" or "lose" it. Dropdowns -There will be NO dropping down in distance(s) once you start the race. The race you start will be the race you will finish or DNF. -If you DNF your distance, you will not get credit medal for a shorter distance. Only those with the tenacity and mental fortitude will finish. For Any Other Questions Contact Us @ [email protected] We look forward to seeing everyone on December 5! -Rey, Jodi & Paul
