Apply to the Trail Mix Fund
If you would like to run one of the eligible races (see list below) and cannot pay the registration fee and/or are from the LGBTQIA+ or BIPOC communities, you can apply to the Trail Mix Fund to have your registration fee waived*. Complete this simple application, explaining your situation and making your case. The Board of Directors will review it and approve or deny your application within two weeks, usually sooner.
Applicants will register for the specified race AFTER receiving notification that they are funded. Please do not sign up until you find out if your application was approved as the Trail Mix Fund cannot retroactively apply to a registration. It can take up to two weeks for approval.
This doesn’t allow you to bypass a lottery or skip ahead of a waitlist or enter a sold out race.
People can apply up to three times.
*The amount the Trail Mix Fund pays is limited to $500 per race. This way we can help more people make it to a start line.
