Answer the Bell.

It is open now, on this site. The field is capped at 75 and the tracker on the register page shows how many spots are claimed. The entry fee, payment, and final division rules are still being approved; nothing is charged when you register, and you will hear by email once they are.

The field is limited to 75 participants across both divisions.

Competitive is for people who want to be measured against the field under the final rules: required weight, start-box rule, and the continuation protocol after loop 36. Open is for people who want the same bell and the same mile with a personal goal instead of a ranking. The detailed rules for both are pending approval.

Not decided yet. Whether division changes are allowed, and until when, will be set with the transfer policy.

Not decided yet. Participant age minimum and the guardian policy for minors are pending approval.

The entry fee has not been approved, and payment is not collected on this site yet. Registered participants will be sent the fee, with any unavoidable processing charges, and how to pay, once approved.

The loop is planned as one mile. The route still needs to be finalized and measured, and no certification is claimed.

The weather policy has not been approved. Expect a November day outdoors in the Upstate: cool mornings, possible rain, wet crossings either way. Final weather and course-change terms will be published in the event policies before registration opens.

The scheduled day runs 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Sunset in mid-November comes well before the final scheduled bells, so plan for loops in low light. Lighting requirements are pending.
