If I miss packet pickup, can I get my packet the morning of the race?

Yes, but this means you’ll be missing the party at packet pickup, and we wouldn’t want that.

How do we check-in to the race?

You will check-in to the races the day before when we send out a Google Form for you and you pacer to fill out. We will NOT check anyone in the morning of the race!

Are pacers allowed?

Yes, for the 50 miler and 55K. Pacers are allowed at the Zig Zag (Mile 32.8) and Mueller Park (Mile 37.5) aid stations. Zig Zag: From I-15 take the Centerville exit and head east as far as you can. You’ll see the driveway to head up on your left side. There will be a little parking lot right there. To the right, about 1/4 of a mile up the service road, there will be the aid station. This is the Parish Creek Trailhead if you’re searching in maps or AllTrails. Mueller Park: In Bountiful. You’ll take 1800 S heading east towards the mountains. Just before the mouth of the canyon there is a church on the north side of the street. This is where the aid station will be located.

Are drop bags allowed?

Yes, we will have them for the 50 mile runners at Farmington Canyon aid station #2, and Mueller Park aid station #5. These will also be allowed for the 55k. They will be at Mueller Park, which is approx mile 20 of the 55K.

Are there cutoffs?

We have one cutoff at Mueller Park aid station #5. Runners must LEAVE the aid station by 5:00 PM.

What's your deferral or cancellation policy?

At DC Peaks 50, we ask runners to fully commit to our event. Entry fees are non-refundable. If you’re unable to participate, you may request a 50% credit toward the following year’s race, provided the request is submitted 30 days prior to the race. The credit is tied to your email address, non-transferable, and must be applied by you during registration for the next year’s event; we will not automatically enroll you or send invites. Runners may switch to a shorter distance (e.g., from 50-mile to 55k or 25k) before the race, but no refunds will be issued for the difference in cost. No credits or refunds will be granted for requests made after 30 days prior to the race. We receive too many exception requests and will not respond to late requests. Do not sign up if this policy is a problem—this is our final response. Thank you for supporting DC Peaks 50!

How should I dress for the races?

It’s a Fall race so it will be chilly in the morning and could get hot in the afternoon.

Do you offer an early start?

We are offering an early start for the 50 mile race. They can start at 4am. We will NOT be there early as we will be setting up still, but you are more than welcome to start at 4am. Just make sure you let us know that you will be starting early.

Can people track the runners?

Yes, there will be a link on our homepage where you can track runners via Open Split Time. We also have a YouTube llivestream.
