Packet Pickup • Bib numbers and t-shirts can be picked up at the pre-race dinner on Friday or at check-in prior to your race. You must be present IN PERSON to receive your bib number. Runners who pick up bib numbers on Friday night MUST check in Saturday morning prior to their race.

Disqualification • Unregistered runners (pacers, companion runners, bandits) are NOT ALLOWED. Replacement runners or transfers are NOT ALLOWED. Breaking these rules is selfish. You are compromising not only your safety but also the safety, enjoyment and future of the entire event. Anyone breaking these rules will be disqualified from this and future races.

Team Competition • Top 5 runners per team scored. Winning team has lowest combined finishing place total across all 6 race categories (40m, 20m, 8m: men + women). No team registration on race weekend!

Voluntary Carbon Offset Contribution • As trail runners, we have a special obligation to protect and preserve the natural resources that we enjoy. Last year we introduced a plan to make the Uwharrie Mountain Run a climate-neutral event (see CO2 Neutral page for details.) You can participate by making an optional $3 donation to help offset your individual carbon footprint and by carpooling to the race.
